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 plan to grow up to be a Doctor, because I have seen many people have health problem. My happiest moment is when I was chosen to enter Form-1 after I completed primary level school. Not every child can enter Form-1, it is a privilege. I am so proud of myself. After I fulfill my Doctor dream, I will build a lot of hospitals. People can get medical services when they are sick. I plan to give back to the School Fund portion of my salary. Also I would like to join this organization to help other children to go to school and get educated.

    India

    Harshita's father is a farmer and her mother a home-maker. She has four siblings; one brother, and three sisters. She used to attend a Private school in her village. However, when she passed her 5th class, the school closed down, compelling her to discontinue her education for a year. Harshita's parents also could not afford to enroll her to other schools as they are financially very weak. Now that she is part of Milaan's Swaachna Learning and Resource Center, Harshita is more than happy to study. She aspires to be an Officer in the Indian Army because she wants to do something for her nation and her family. She wants to make her parents proud of her.
