Orphan realizes university dreams

“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.”
