ANJELA

Dear host family, I am already very excited about getting to know you. But, first of all, I would like to introduce myself to you. My name is Anjela Achieng. I am 25 years old and from the small city in Kenya, Kisumu. With a single parent , Alice (49) and my brother Lighty (14), I am living in a house that is located in an area full of nature. My mother runs a business of vegetables, Lighty is currently attending the 10th grade of secondary school. Overall, we are a pretty large family, I have fifteen cousins. I would describe myself as a reliable and caring person, who tries to make the best out of every situation. I like spending time with my friends; they are – as well as my family – very important to me. Always trying to help, I’m always there for them if they need me. In my free time, I like to listen to music, go shopping or dance. Dancing is one of my favorite hobbies and I am also teaching young children at a local dancing club. Furthermore, I enjoy reading a good book and singing – even though I cannot sing. Every summer, I supervise children at a local football camp. It is always a lot of fun! Being a huge fun of football club FC Manchester City (maybe you know it?). At the moment, I help my mother in her business to easen the work, I also work as a charity in a orphanage organization.i enjoy this job very much, because I am able to bond with many children and new faces. For the past two years, I took care of children of all ages from different families. I became very close to them and I cherish the time I have spent with them. When my brother was younger, I also took care of him, when our mum was working. Through this time, I have found out how much fun it is to have children around, I can’t imagine a life without them. I hope we can develop a good relationship, working and living together as a family. I would be very happy to experience an eventful year with you and your kids. I am looking forward to talking to you. Yours sincerely, Anjela.
