Featured Student: Esther Naini - Kenya
No electricity? No problem! With a new laptop computer powered by solar cells, even our students out in the bush can learn to use computers and communicate with Asante Africa Foundation and its supporters. After a lesson from Erna on an earlier visit, Esther Naini, a 13-year-old student in Kenya, is now learning how to use the solar-powered computer of our program manager, Hellen Nkuraiya.
Esther was orphaned and was being raised by her aunt prior to receiving an Asante Africa scholarship and enrollment in a boarding school. Her gratitude, excitement for learning and pride in mastering the computer shines through in this email to Erna:
