Hi my name is Jayo Ramson.  I am a Masai from the  Il Ngwesi community in Chumvi village Kenya.  I live with my mother and father.  I have four brothers and four sisters.   My parents are small scale farmers with one cow, two goats and one sheep.   My parents do not make enough income to send me to high school.  I am kindly requesting any well wisher who could help me join high school.

Gaining an education will allow me to achieve my dream to become a teacher.  I will be in a good position to educate people in my community towards positive changes that are needed.   For example: working towards stopping polygamy and also keeping a smaller number of animals that will balance with the amount of grazeable land.  

I believe environmental sustainability is very important because:

–          It is the home for wild animals

–          It controls soil erosion

–          It keeps the land looking beautiful

–          Forests allow rainfall

–          Bees make honey from flowers

I have some experience volunteering with a tree nursery.   I help distribute seedlings in my community so people can plant trees near their homes.

Some of my extended family is willing to contribute a small amount towards my high schooling, however it is not enough. 

Thank you for your time.
