About

Lucas writes: "I am a boy aged 19. I am from Itezhi-Tezhi. I grew up in Livingstone where my family was. My grandmother is the one who was sponsoring me because my family couldn't afford to pay for my school fees. Now she is old and can no longer manage to. My parents are also very old and my father was forced to retire a long time ago. I am very in need of this scholarship because it will help me to complete my education and to help others in the future. Life becomes difficult when you have not done anything to help others. I wish to become a doctor because the challenges that doctors face are not too difficult to handle. I will be very grateful and thankful to the people who will help. God will help them a lot."
