About

Freda writes: "My father is a government teacher in a local government school in a village near Okurase and comes home with a meager salary that can barely feed the home much less pay for my fees. My mother sells food to support my father to pay for my school fees. My father has established a private school in our village to help improve the quality and standard of education in the village as his social responsibility to the community. Because of the very low income status of the village, parents are unable to pay for school fees so that my father can use some to pay for my education. So it is ironic that my father, who has the education of the children and youth in the village at heart, which compelled him to establish the school, cannot pay for his own daughter's school fees because he is compelled to run the school like a charity organization instead of a private business to support his family. We, in total support of our father's decision to educate other children, are glad to help educate children who are not from our family. We hope that someone, somewhere, will also be kind enough to support our education too."

Hi, i've just seen your letter and i'm so grade. My battery is low so i will reply to your letter tomorrow.Goodbye
Hello this is Freda, I appreciate the fact that my fees have been paid and I’m so excited for what has been done for me. Let me share with you some of my joy. At first I go to school without my fees, they would ask me to go for my fees immediately. Without it I will not be allowed to go to class. Secondly, it has helped me in my academics. Additionally, because of the way they send me home for fees, I am unable to concentrate on my studies which usually result in my poor performance during the examination and even class test, but now as my fees have been paid before school re-opens I can now concentrate and am really excited.
I am therefore grateful for the support given me by paying my fees before school re-opens. Now all my worries on school fees will be no more and now have hopes of achieving my dream.
God richly bless all who supported me generously for being kind.

    Tanzania

    My early life was full of challenges. This forced me to start primary school when I was old, not because I wanted to but because my family was not aware of the importance of school. They did not even go to primary school. The income of my family is very low compared to others. They fail to pay for my school expenses and they depend just on a small farm that cannot sustain our school and home needs. Although there are some difficult situations I must struggle to overcome, I will pay back our society by passing examinations. This would be my happy moment.
