Letter to sponsors
Dear friends and KiT sponsors,
just a week ago we returned from our adventurous expedition to Tanzania. It was great, we highly recommend a visit to this colorful and friendly country!
One of the highlights of the trip was undoubtedly a big celebration, where we met among others our former students Emma, Pendo and Lydia (Kazungu). It was really nice to see how they grew up to be great, hardworking and skilled people.
We also heard a moving speech by Venuska's sister, the pastor Angela. She sends you his heartfelt greetings, thanks and blessings. And in the photo in the section DOCUMENTS you can see how many of us met :)
Still full of a lot of new impressions (we are happy to tell any time) we send an update on the activities of KiT – of which we are convinced even more than before …
University students
Last year, Debora and Yaely started studying at Dar-es-salaam University. Both students are fine, very healthy and thank you for all your support. Yaely successfully obtained a government loan and is now studying marketing, tourism and event management. Deborah studies, as she writes, chemistry in the "best program". According to her words, she always wanted it.
Naomi wrote us a beautiful letter, in which she thanked us very much for the support, which enabled her to fully dedicate herself to the university, to obtain study materials, aids and to take some extension courses. For the second year running, she has been intensively involved in IT and writes that thanks to her studies, she has also grown up a lot – even though it was not easy for her in her freshman year in a new environment. She learned to live independently and to organize everything necessary. She has good results in exams and even managed to complete a practical internship. Our support, she said, “has given her the power to make positive changes and to inspire those who are afraid to follow their dreams”. Sending greetings to all :)
Mariam, who studies electrical engineering, is in her second year at the university. Last year, she struggled with a state loan, partly supported by her father. We sent her 2 million TZS from KiT funds before the end of the year.
Izack graduated from A-level in May 2023 and, like Deborah, had to enter military service in June. Since then we have unfortunately lost contact with him, we will try to reach out to August, who recommended him for KiT. As soon as we know anything new, we'll be in touch.
New student
In the KiTu committee we decided to support a new student, Loyce Samsor, thanks to a financial reserve.
She is 19 years old, her father is a farmer and her mother is a seamstress. Loyce also has two brothers and a sister. She is currently studying accounting at the Institute of Accountancy Arusha (IAA) high school and would like to continue to do so – ideally in conjunction with IT for her bachelor's degree. Her dream is to open a clothing store.
Former students
We also heard from Rose – she and her husband have a beautiful one-year-old girl and after the wedding they moved to the area near the big lakes, Victoria (Mwanza). They both work at at rural hospital, where Rose has opened a small pharmacy thanks to the course we paid for her.
Finally, a small technical detail – at the end of January we sent out a Gift Receipt Confirmation, which you can use for your accounting, I believe that everything arrived in order.
Thank you so much for your constant support, we wish you a beautiful early spring and we look forward to seeing you soon!
