Edith Writes:

My name is Edith Wangui Mwangi. I am from Kagwe, Kenya. I am a female and a volunteer for a community based organization called KENVO. Some of our activities include trees planting, bird watching and establishing tree nurseries. The college program I wish to take is offered by Wildlife Clubs of Kenya in Nairobi. I wish to take the program of wildlife management. The first semester costs 44,12O ($604 USD) and it is a four semester course. My reasons for choosing this program are to learn more about sustainable tourism and conservation, and to gain a lot of experience that I will share with my communities that surround me. Moreover, helping as much as I can in the environment and conservation matters are important for me. My goals in the future are to be a very good leader in environmental concerns of east Africa by training more people to help address these concerns, and to help them achieve the goals of environmental conservation and sustainability.

The money that I and my family have cannot support me in my education. I believe that by helping me gain an education you will be helping my whole community as I plan to plough this education back into my community to help them live better lives. Thank you for your commitment in helping me achieves my dreams. I will do my level best to achieve them.
