DETERMINATION IS THE ONLY TOOL TO SUCCESS IN LIFE.-NO MAN WAS POOR TO LEAD MISLEABLE LIVE
SIMBA GEOFFREY- is man who lives to tell a tale and not a story,born of fifty born of a family of eight was never an easy task. Live was not only miserable but difficult,getting basic need was not easy thing since my dad was the only bread winner and he worked as Casual laborer in one of the tea estates in my country.

CHILDHOOD 
Growing in tea estate were people with different culture was not all that good for me, it made me think that whatever was going through was because my dad never worked in school that is why we were suffering. So at very tender age i went a school (we were being taught my volunteer teacher who could collect us and offer free services). i believed that its only if i get quality education is when i could get myself a good job (nice lifestyle). i was the youngest in my class, i used to lead in my class at no time i took less position 5 in my class and remember a class used to hold not less than 90 pupils. By the age of 15 i did my primary examination and passed very well was admitted to national school  but due to lack of school fees i opted to join a local secondary school that was 20km away from my home.

HIGH SCHOOL LIVE
Having lost hope in life and since was too desperate my high school was hell on earth, there is no semester i did attend class full. ideally i used to attend only month in school as i used to be sent for school fees time and again. I only had hopes that my life could change if a get education. having had nobody to counsel me i resolved to keep quite to a point the school administration could conclude that i was abusing drug and that i was not good boy. in most occasions i was  being beaten even threatened of expulsion from school but since i used to perform well some teachers could come to my aid. remember a brother to my mother was the deputy headteachers and had gone to that school so that he could sympathize with me and assist me with paying my school fees but he turned to be my best enemy. as  i have stated early i persisted because i believed in education were it not for this i could have dropped long time ago.
usually my grades were good and had high hopes of joining a university and get scholarship from the government,to my disappointment i scored very low grades after my four year study so my dreams of joining the university and pursue my degree in engineering were shuttered. Can say the years that followed there after were the most darkest in my life. cant recount what i did between age 22-26.

LIVE AFTER OUTSIDE HIGH SCHOOL
Personally had lost hope in life completely so i moved from my parents house to nearby urban center, i only wanted a new place and was willing to engage in anything provided it was legal and acceptable before the eyes of God. i did a number of jobs that i cant even mention here,cleaning houses,cooking, most difficult was washing sheets from brothel and bars.put i knew if i will be determined i was going to come out that challenges. 

FACEBOOK
it changed my life completely despite on several occasion i fought so hard to clean my name. at first i come across lady by the name Nadra, yes mama Nadra she believed in me and started to support my family and me. she was able to assist us put food on the table, for me i wanted to get education as i strongly believes in self reliance, we prayed with on the same for a period of about a year when Nicole come to my life. These two beautiful ladies who have never met personally believed in me and gave me education. education that I had longed for years, for three years i pursued a diploma in building construction and currently am working on appropriate technology of interlocking soil compressed blocks, housing is a challenging to the world and more especially in Africa. I want to use my knowledge on soil mechanism to come up with and easier way but engineered housing units for my community and Kenya at large.

MY DREAM
Want to leave a legacy on this earth as the most ever lived technician since it may not be possible to pursue a degree in civil engineering.
