Sifuniel, class of 2017 is our spotlight this month. He is volunteering in St Jude’s Girls Secondary school, teaching Commerce and Book-keeping. Sifuniel has been volunteering since he was in Form 4. “Volunteering back at school as always being my favorite thing to do. It does not only help me give back to my beautiful school, but also help me learn through it”.
Sifuniel and a few others are volunteering in academics team, they help in fixing the gap that we have in teaching. They teach Geography, Math, English, and Kiswahili. It has been amazing seeing alumni coming back and give teachers and other staff a hand. This shows how much alumni grew up with the heart of giving.
Sifuniel aired the impact that the school had to him, “St Jude’s changed my life a lot, I was able to attain the good communication skills and confidence required to meet the outside community. Every time I heard about a presentation in university, my face stretched with a beaming smile since I knew St Jude’s prepared me better for that”.
