News from Tanzania

Dear friends and sponsors,

during the spring general meeting the current KiT committee has been re-confirmed. We introduced four new students – Angelina, Jackline, Baraka, and Godfrey. These four, have been chosen based on their study results motivating essays in English and their life stories which for Baraka and Godfrey were especially emotional.

After sending them the KiT letters of acceptance they started to search for the convenient A-level high schools. Based on our past experiences we have set money amount limit of 2 million Tanzanian shillings (approx 33,000 CZK). We have already sent to Emma’s account the money for the first semester. We’ve received information from Baraka that he has already chosen a school and started to study. Godfrey, Angelina, and Jackline have been accepted by their schools as well. Godfrey should start during June and both girls during July.

We are not very happy about the year school fees which is continuously increasing year after year. Fortunately, Angelina, Jackline, and Baraka can be further supported by their relatives or friends. Godfrey is not so fortunate and most probably we will have to take into account some additional money for him. We will discuss this with Emma first and will take a decision then.

We are still in touch with our University students and with Rose and Kazu as well. We are more and more using WhatsApp to communicate with them where Emma has created a group of all the KiT students. All are doing well and they are sending greetings.

Thanks a lot for Your support and we are awaiting any comments or ideas :)

Your KiT Committee
