Theogene is studying in Secondary 5 (S-5), which is equivalent to 11th grade in America. The section he is studying is Math, Economics and Geography [a section is like a college major]. His desire is to become a pilot. He is improving in his classes this year, which have been a struggle for him. School became difficult in adjusting to an all-English system, as classes previously were taught in French. He started off S-4 last year in the Math, Physics and Geography section, but had to drop Physics after two trimesters due to the school losing the teacher. At that point he replaced Physics for Economics, in spite of not having the opportunity to study Economics in the first and second trimester. After the first trimester of this year he has improved greatly in his academics.
He is adjusting to the English system and different way of teaching. He is thankful for all the scholarship gives him. Back when he was completing S-3 he was studying in a government school, which is harder to get into and requires higher examination scores. Unfortunately when he took his national exams he did not score high enough to attend a government school for his next three years, S4-6. Back in S-3 things were much more difficult for his family, as school fees were not sponsored. This interrupted his schooling as well as the fear and concern if his school fees would be provided. Global Capacity began to sponsor him in S-4.
Theogene, his older brother Benjamin and his sister Muhire are all sponsored by Global Capacity. This gives relief to their mother who is a widow. She works part-time as a cleaner and also many odd jobs including construction, cooking, and anything she can do to support her family. They all thank Global Capacity for relieving the stress of school fees, and the other expenses their Mom would be required to provide. This helps their family live a better life with a lot less stress and worry.
