David

David tells us, "I am grateful for the opportunity to study at NMS. Before I came here, I would go to school barefoot and with an empty stomach. Come lunchtime I would again walk back home and most times there was nothing to eat. My parents could not afford to buy books for all of us and being the youngest, I suffered the most. Sometimes my siblings and I had to work on people's farms to get money to buy books or pay for exams.

"When I came to NMS I was delighted because I got a new home. I was given a new uniform and books, teachers come to class and they teach us well and guide us. Now I sleep in my own bed and have a warm blanket. We are given healthy food and we eat on time. I have enough time to read and concentrate on my studies," he adds, with his special smile.

David's favorite subject is Mathematics and he hopes to be a medical doctor one day.
