Starfish: Christina and Magdalena

Christina during Vocations class making tie dye

My name is Christina. I am 26 years old. I live with my mom, my sister, two brothers, and two kids. My education level is standard seven (grade 6). I cannot continue education because my parents did not have money. I want to be a part of GHTA because I know it will change my life. The hardest part about school is spelling words. The most difficult job I ever had was as a cheap laborer. I plan to use my GHTA education to have a business and makes clothes. My dreams for the future is professional fashion designer. 

My name is Magdalena Masamu. I am 35 years old. I live with my family: my husband Japhet, and my children Ivan, Sara, Shalom, and their sister Zaituri. My education level is Standard Seven (grade 6). I did not continue education because I was orphan after the death of my father and mother was unable to care for eight children. I did like to be a part of GHTA because it helps to give business education and how to speak English to the local women. The hardest part about being in school as an adult is it is difficult to have sufficient time to do homework because of many responisbilities. The best part about being in school as an adult is I can concentrate well on the lessons. The most difficult job I ever had was breaking stones. The biggest challenge in my life now is I sleep only a short time every day. I think after settling my life I will get sufficient sleep. I will apply my GHTA education to my business. I sell porridge flour and soy flour. I also deliver milk in my neighborhood every morning. I hope after school I am going to be a big business woman.
