Things on the move
Dear friends and KiT patrons!
Since the last news posted the things started to move significantly. Therefore we would like to share with You our happiness from the progress and our "kids" achievements:
August Ngowi was accepted for the University of Dodome particularly to College of Health Science (UDOM(CHS)). He'll be studying the five year program of "Doctor of Medicine". His big dream came true - he always wanted to become a doctor. He was granted a government loan of 4,33 mil TZs what is quite a nice amount. Unfortunately not sufficient. Therefore KiT decided (after thorough calculations) to provide him with the rest of the money - 523.500 TZs (approx. 6.455 czk) for him to be able to complete his university registration.
Gregory Lyima was accepted for University of Dar Es Salam to College of Natural Applied Sciences (UDSM(CONAS)). He's going to study a three year Bachelor degree program of Science in Actuarial Sciences (applied mathematics). He was granted a government loan of 2,86 mil TZs what is a smaller amount comparing to August but still appreciable amount of money. KiT decided (again after thorough calculations) to provide him with 837.500 TZs (approx. 10.327 czk).
Agness Ngowi was accepted for Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences (MUHAS) in the three year bachelor degree program of Science in Radiation Therapy Technology. She was granted a government loan of 4,11 mil TZs (looks like the medicine disciplines are being supported more generously ;)). Based on the overall circumstance KiT decided to provide her with the biggest amount of 978.400 TZs (approx. 12.060 czk). But the majority of these money is just a one-off payment for the whole study time range. The same for August and Gregory. The money are mainly for the research and study materials. Therefore the future support amounts should be smaller.
Rose Mushi, our youngest student, is progressing greatly in her A-level first year studies. She asked us if we could support her by providing her with the dormitory fees for the second half of the year (her parents went out of the money). After taking into account all the circumstances (travel time and difficulty, impact on her study results etc.) we decided to provide her with the amount of 400.00 TZs (4.950 czk).
All our students our again in full utilization. After finishing their military services in September everything happened so quickly so that it was quite challenging for us to discuss, calculate, validate and send the money in time. Unfortunately Emma is currently out of Moshi due to work therefore we had to send the money directly to each particular student. August and Gregory were able to get the money on their own from Western Union together on the last day before their leave for the University. Agness received the money in Dar Es Salam and Rose was helped by her mother.
On our web pages under section Documents / Reports you can find all the related communication, school "Joining instructions", receipts for money transfers and government loans as well as the A-level certificates.
And last but not least - good news regarding our bank account - we have still enough money as a backup. After sending 36.700 czk (October 2013) the account status is now 50,000 czk + approx. 16,000 czk on the bank account in Tanzania.
Many thanks to all of you for your support and we are looking forward to future days in which we hope to keep on supporting young people in Tanzania on their way to fulfilling their life dreams.
