Ian Kagaathi

_
Ian is
one of Pathfinder's most promising students ranking in the top 10% of his
grade 8 class despite an array of hardships at home. His favorite subject is
mathematics and he scores very well in it. He wishes to become a doctor upon
graduation because he wants to help people who aren't able to help
themselves. Outside of the classroom, Ian excels in athletics. He
participates in swimming, badminton and soccer, his favorite team being
Chelsea and his favorite player Drogba. He lists ugali and fish as his
favorite food and would travel to the United States if he could travel
anywhere so that he could continue with his education in either Washington DC
or New York City because he has heard of great universities there. Ian lists
Ben Carson as his roll model because he began very poorly and finished so
well, having achieved his goals in the end. At home, Ian's father has passed
away and his mother lives elsewhere with her mother. Ian lives with his 2
brothers, sister and grandparents who are too elderly and weak to hold jobs.
His uncle tries to pay his school fees and those of his siblings but it is
often impossible for him and it will certainly be impossible when Ian is in
high school next year with higher school fees. He therefore needs to find a
sponsor if will be able to succeed in achieving his goal of becoming a
doctor. He says that if he finds a sponsor he will be very happy and will
work hard to acheive the grades needed to be accepted to medical school. If
he doesn't find a sponsor, he is not sure what he will do but he will have
many problems and will likely have to start working. Ian hopes to attend Lenana Boys High School. Sponsor Ian
