Profile Talent

NAME: YEGO KIPKEMBOI M. SILAH

AGE: 20yrs

TALENT: Academic abilities ( he has been leading most of the time in his class in the last academic year

DREAM CAREER: become a doctor

BACKROUND INFORMATION
I was born in Moi's Bridge, Uasin Gishu District, Rift Valley Province alongside with two brothers. My parents are peasant farmers although farming never earned better to cater for my school fees alongside other needs. For this we had to engage in a self reliant activity like producing bricks which we could sell and pay part of our fees.

RECENT
I have just finished high school this year and hope to join university next year or the year to come. In Kenya we choose our study subjects, but the government decides which study you will be following even if you meet the qualifications. It would be my wish to study Medicine, so as to be able to contribute to the health care services to many in my town or community I am a hardworking, humble, good listening and caring person, and I think given this chance to pursue my dream career I would be a good doctor

PLAN/AMBITION
The results of our exams will be out next year around March.
The university selection is in September 2009. Till then I have to have patience!
To know what I am offered.

BUDGET
Not Known yet but:
This year the university cost are around 70.000 Ksh (Euro) per semester.
Therefore Ksh 140.000 per year (Around 1600 euro per year)

Bridging the GAP until I get a chance to study
I myself saw a need to begin a tree nursery project to save
some amount to start a poultry project which I saw would boost me
highly. I am intending to expand on this poultry project which I have started with four chicks and plan to add forty chicks and avail their housing facilities. Income will come from selling eggs and full grown chicken
Budget:
40 chicks
approximate ttl for this project: 35000sh = euro 400,=

NB. SPECIAL THANKS TO THE TALENT FOUNDATION FOR GIVING ME AN
OPPORTUNITY TO DEVELOP MY TALENT AND FUTURE DREAM.
