Congratulations on making it to University! Life at university is very different than at school - you are learning a lot just in terms of finding your way on campus and managing time. Good for you.
I am sorry to hear that there is unrest due to lack of funding. I hope this does not limit access to the classes you want to take.
What are you studying (do you have a "major" field of study)?
Thank you for writing. May God bless you in this new chapter of your life.
With love, Melissa
Hello donors,
How are you? I am very fine.Am also doing good at the university.It is quite interesting interacting with new people especially scholars.It has been a great pleasure talking to you again.
I am doing good in the university.The first few weeks ago while at the University I was so confused because I never knew any corner of the University.
I have made new friends who are scholars too.I have learnt how to manage my time while in the University since no one controls what one does and no bells.
There has been some ongoing strikes at the University due to inadequacy of enough funds by the government to add salary to the lectures.Due to hard and difficult economic situations in my country,I have a fees balance which has made it difficult for me to register for the certain units am taking at the University.
Of late am able to walk all parts of the University without getting lost.
I am glad and thankful for your support in my high school education.
God bless you all.

    I wish all my dreams come true even though it is had to reach them. One of my dreams is to help other people who need special help, especially orphans and those whose lives are hard and poor. I also wish to help other girls who face problems that make them to fail reach their dreams. The most difficult experience in my early life was when my father and my mother divorced. It was hard for me to decide which one I should live with, my mother or my father. I did not know what was the right way. The situation made my performance at school drop. Then my dad took me and my siblings and he tried his best to provide good care for us and ensure that we got education. When I was selected for secondary school in Morogoro, my father didn’t have enough money for my school expenses. He talked with the headmistress so I could stay at school while he raised the money. The headmistress was very understanding. I completed my O-level education there and now I am in A-levels at Iringa Girls Secondary School. I am proud of myself when I do something that is appreciated by people and when I make someone happy.

    Anmol writes: "My name is Anmol Ghising. I am 14 years old. I live in New Youth Children Development Society. It is a social organization which provides us basic needs. I am here since I was 7 years old. When I came here, I was a small child. I only know a little bit about my parents. My mother died when I was 6 years old and my father got another marriage. After that he left me and one of my uncles took me here. Since he left me here, no one came to see me. I still don't know where he is. Either he is alive or died. I am a very poor boy. I hope you will help me."
