Giving Update: Friends Secondary School Shirugu


Fetching water from the well was not easy. Pulling the water up from the well drained all our energy which sometimes made us sleep during class hours instead of studying. I hated going to school because of fetching water. This made me miss most of the lessons, and as a result, I used to not perform well.

I enjoy school now because anytime I feel thirsty I just run to the tank, open the tap and there is water. I have enough time to study compared to when we used to pull water up from the well.

I now have my personal timetable to follow during my free time. All the time I used to waste is now being used to do other beneficial research in my studies.
