About Joel comes from a large family. He lives with his mother, father and his six siblings. His mother is a farmer while his father is a mason. Due to the large family the parents struggle to pay school fees for Joel and his other siblings who are also in school. The little income the parents earn is not adequate enough to provide basic needs to the entire family. Joel wishes to continue with his studies without being sent home due to lack of school fees. In future he would like to be a mechanical engineer.
