Be a Pen Pal: Write Back to Elizabeth & Grace in Tanzania

The Kisa Scholars in Tanzania are officially back from their vacation and ready to hit the books once again. We love being able to email back and forth with the three students whom GIRLS WHO ROCK 2010 sponsored—Elizabeth, Happiness, and Grace—and hearing directly from them how their time at school is going.

From the looks of their letters, the girls are busy and ready to start their studies! In the comments, leave Grace & Elizabeth a note of encouragement, or a question, which we can relay back in our response! We’ll post Happiness’ update soon.

The following is a message from Grace:

hallow!
Sorry for taking a lot of time to answer you i was having some problems.
I real enjoyed taking economics. as other students i do experience some problems which are normal but i do my best to solve them as i have been taught by mentors that in order to live with people you have to know her weakness and her strength so am happy to be in kisa because its helps me a lot living with people as hear at school we are many people with different culture and comes from different places.
Hope we will communicate more
Have a nice time, till next time.

This is from Elizabeth:

Elizabeth David

how are you doing?I’m fine and going well with my studies,and Grace is doing fine as well.

It feels so good to be on my last year and thinking that soon am going to be in the university but it’s hard work too. It means studying hard so as to get good grades in my mock exam and especially my final exam.

How’s the concert preparation going?Well, I wish you guys all the best.

Lots of love,

Elizabeth.

    Hi Elizabeth!

    Good luck on your exams! I just finished mine at Louisiana State University, and I know how much work it takes.

    I’m helping out She’s The First and the Girls Who Rock team by helping find bloggers to promote the concert and the cause. It’s been great to get to know everyone, and I’m really hoping I can make it to the concert in June.

    Do you know where you want to go to University yet? Best of luck with everything!

    Hi Gracie,
    First, I love your tie! I bet you have a great sense of style ;) I just finished taking an economics class last year, and it was really tough for me. I definitely understand what you mean about understanding about other people and their strengths and weaknesses.

    I hope to hear more from you and Elizabeth soon! Best of luck with everything!

    Lots of love from Louisiana,
    Claire
