Open Your Eyes ( The Story Of Millicent Adhiambo)

Do you hit the snooze button on your dreams? Millicent Adhiambo does. She'd rather sleep than sweat, until a timeless proverb shakes her awake: "Do not love sleep, lest you come to poverty; open your eyes, and you will be satisfied with bread." Set in a vibrant Kenyan village, this inspiring story follows Millicent's year of awakening. With her friends by her side, she dives into a challenging science fair project-building a rainwater catchment system from recycled materials.
Along the way, she battles laziness, learns from wise elders, manages her time, navigates technology traps, and discovers what true "bread"-fulfillment-really means. More than just a story, Open Your Eyes is a mentor in book form. Perfect for Grade 7 learners in the CBC system and beyond, it weaves essential life skills-teamwork, resilience, vision, and community service-into a gripping narrative.
Millicent's journey shows that hard work isn't a punishment; it's the key to unlocking your potential and feeding your future. Wake up. Dig in. Build your life.
