“It is now about 7.50 pm and still in the office wanting to write to you. Imagine I am with George in the office where we have spent almost two hours trying to connect a MODEM that i bought yesterday. George is a great guy who has done this great work that many men would have asked for thousands of money. Right away now we are using our own computer to write to you. Am very happy about this. We love you all.”

“I am writing to inform you that I have finally joined [the] university to start my learning, which will culminate to a degree in computer science in four years’ time. As you know, my journey to join the university started last year when I was given a place in the university, but could not join due to financial reasons. I have lost one academic year, but I will work hard to make up for it.
I am deeply grateful for all that you have done for me so far. I promise I will work hard in my education at the university…and your investment in me will bear fruit. Not just for me, but also to people around me in Kyeni and the nation at-large. I intend to work hard and also help others around me and do volunteer service.
My brother is still at home. I pray that he goes back to school sometime in September before his admission is terminated.”
