Best Moments

By Gichuki Francis - Executive Director, January 30, 2012 10:23 AM

We at TYSA are very grateful for the continued support that you have continually offered to the girls in the community. We asked them to define their best moments in 2011 and we report it as they said it:

Felister Akirapa- Am happy that Ojilo has helped me to know soccer and now am a good player.

Betty Caudencia-I didn't new that I could go to school but through this organization am happy that am in school.

Irene Amutabi-I thank God we are all ok with no injury. I have been in school without paying anything. Am also happy that I have gone to Nairobi

Rose Apiyo-Am happy that am back to school after a small mess but I promise not to do that again and I advice all to keep discipline of your self

Ann Asubila - I worked with people with no quarrel this year. I have done my KCPE, pray for me to get good marks

June Chepkoech- If it were not this organization I could have not been where I am. I have gone to Mombasa and trained as a referee, I can now confidently officiate any game.

We at TYSA management want to share our gratitude to what you have done to the girls. It is our desire that you will find this year another opportunity to support the girls. The project was featured in the GG Thank you Video, http://www.globalgiving.org/thank-you-2011/ , have a look and share it with your friends. We are proud of YOU!
