PHILIP KARGO Hello I am Philip and I am ten years of age and I attend The David School, class 5. I live in the village with my aunt. My five brothers and two sisters live with my mother next door. My favourite subject is Maths and I think I would like to be a Science teacher when I grow up. I love to play football with my friends after school. I sometimes call myself Mr David after Mr David at school because he is kind and helps us. I like school very much. I like to help other children very much, they are all my friends. | |
MBALU KARGBO I am fourteen years of age and attend the David School, JSS1 junior secondary. I first came to the school when I was six years old. I live in the village Mile 36 with my family, two brothers and three sisters who all attend the school. I am the youngest child. I particularly like the lesson of English Language and hope one day to be a teacher. Out of school I like to be with my friends and enjoy skipping. If I did not attend school, I would be at home fetching water. | |
ISATU KANU My name is Isatu and I am fourteen years old. I am in class JSS1 and my teacher says I am a hardworking pupil. I really enjoy Business Studies and hope that when I leave school I can work in an office in Freetown. I live in Mile 36 with my mother and father. My father is a farmer and works long hours. My mother is at home and I help her when not in school. I like to be with my friends when not in school. | |
FATMATA BANGURA I am eighteen years of age and I live in an orphanage in Rolal. It takes me half an hour to walk to school each day. I use the old road not the new busy road. I was six years old when I first came to the school. My favourite subject is Science and I hope to be a nurse one day. I like school very much and when not in school spend time with friends. When I leave the David School hope to go on to Further Education so I can achieve my ambition. | |
ESTHELLER Y MANSARAY I was six years old when I first came to the school. I now live in Mamama which is about one and a half hours walk away. I use the old road and walk to school with other pupils. I am an only child and live with my Grandmother. I help my Grandmother as much as I can at home, I fetch water from the stream, not like at school where we have a water pump. Chemistry is my favourite subject. I would very much like to be a nurse and so hope with help and support I can go on to Further Education. I would like to say I am very happy at the school. Thank you. | |
ISATU J MANSARAY I first came to the David School when I was nine years old. I am now twenty seven years old and without the David school would not be where I am today, a teacher in Primary class 2 at the school. The school supported me when I wanted to continue my education in Freetown. I gained my WASS qualifications. I returned to the village and volunteered at the School and was supported to gain my Teacher Certificate. I will always be grateful for the help and support I have been given. In 2019 I was fortunate enough to gain a teaching position in the school where I began as a little girl. I live on site. My Aunt and my parents live in the village. I also have brothers and sisters who attend the school. When I am at home I like to read. I am very happy here. Thank you all. | |
JOHN M KANU I am twenty years of age and I attend The David School, class SS3, senior class. I first came to the school when I was ten years old. I enjoy school very much, my favourite subjects are History and Government Literature. My ambition is to be a political lawyer. I know I have to work hard and I will. Sadly I have no parents so I look after my brothers, we live in the village close to the school. Without the help and support from the school life would be so different. Thank you. | |
