Grand Prize Winner receives School Fees from MixaKids

Interview with Overall winner of the MixaKids competitions

Name; Jireh Tumushime 

Class; P.6.E

School; St. Francis Day and boarding Primary School

Age; 11 years

Book title: Exporanza the girl who never gave up on her dreams

What is the book about: Exporanza was a girl who was talented in fashion but her parents did not support her in the talent that she had. They admired another person’s talent so they wanted Exporanza to have that talent too yet they had forgotten that its God given, every body has his or her own talent.

How many pages long was your story: one page

How long did it take you to write it; it took about twenty minutes

How did you get the idea; I got it from my experience, I have a talent of singing but at school we always have these dances and my friends knew how to dance better than me so I was always admiring their talent and I was like I also want to learn how to dance but then it’s God given, that what I remembered and then I got the idea

Did anyone help you to write the book; no I was alone

How many stories have you written for MixaKids; three stories

What kept you motivated even before your books were published/selected, were you discouraged; I listened to what my teachers told me, we had a meeting with Mr. Gidudu, he told me that we shall write stores and earn from them so I listened to him and did what I was supposed to do.

Are you going to write another story for MixaKids again soon; Yes

What is your advice to children who want to write stories not only for MixaKids but for others as well; I’m advising those children that whatever stories they have, let them not copy from any movies but let them get the stories from their minds and they will be successful in what they do

How does it feel to be the winner of school fees from MixaKids; I feel grateful, I’m very happy and excited.  I feel like at least I’ve rewarded my parents for the long time they have taken care of me
