News
Letter to sponsors
Dear friends and KiT fans,
we would like to share with you some of the latest news which hopefully will make the sad autumn days a bit brighter :)
We were pleased to welcome in Czech republic one of our students Agnes. She found a free weekend during her international workshop in Vienna. She spent the majority of the free time with Simon and Veny but we managed to organize a few meetings with other KiT members. Agnes is very nice and skillful young woman. Upon her return to Tanzania, she sent us a very moving letter in which she wrote that she was sincerely grateful to KiT for the "incredible support and generosity" we have shown in sponsoring her studies at high school and university. This support had a profound impact on her career path and life in general. Thanks to KiT, she was able to study at a private school that had committed teachers. It inspired her to continue on to the field of radiotherapy, which she successfully completed. She then went on to study in Ireland. Thanks to KiT, she was able to focus on school and fulfill her dreams without having to worry about financial constraints. Today she works at the Ocean Road Cancer Institute, she works with the Tanzanian Ministry of Health, she is active in the all-Tanzanian organization that associates radiotherapists, and also in the organization Women in Nuclear, for which she participates in international meetings. Agnes promises to stay in touch with us and help us with KiT. She's currently reaching out to Tanzanian schools to recommend new students we can support.
Deborah wrote to us that she was doing well. She is proud to be allowed (as she writes) to study at the best Tanzanian university in Dar es Salaam. Her bachelor's degree is in chemistry. The beginnings were a bit challenging for her (as for any fresh student), but now she is very satisfied. She even won a presidential scholarship. He is currently on an internship at the Tanganyika Plantation Company (TPC), where he is trying to understand the process of sugar production from cane. She says she is very grateful for everyone's support and sends lots of love and blessings.
Yaely successfully obtained a government loan and is now studying marketing, tourism and event management. We will get more information.
Naomi is in her second year of studying IT, she recently wrote to us that this year was great and (hopefully) successfully completed both semesters - she is still waiting for the final results, but she feels very good about the tests. She is currently in practice at the Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA), where she is primarily involved in networks and their maintenance. She sends greetings to all!
Mariam thanks a lot for the support and is looking forward to November when her new semester begins. She sends many greetings and blessings to all and writes that she is very grateful and that thanks to us she has learned to help others herself. Before returning to school, she supports her loved ones and works in a small family shop selling drinks and snacks.
Loyce is twenty years old and has been studying accounting at the Institute of Accountancy Arusha (IAA) since October 2022. If all goes well, she should finish school next year. If she succeeds, she would like to continue to her bachelor's degree, where she wants to pursue accounting in combination with IT.
As we wrote to you, Izack successfully graduated from A-level in May 2023 and joined the army. He started working in the police force last year. He praises the job, writing that it is not easy to get a job in Tanzania. Izack is currently in Zanzibar, where he is being trained in a riot control unit. He said he would continue to study later. He thanks all the sponsors very much for the support that allowed him to get to where he is today.
In the foreseeable future, we will be selecting other suitable students to support their studies. As mentioned above, Agnes, who has already received several essays from "poor but talented" students, will help us with this process. We are already looking forward to new faces of KIT.
Enjoy the autumn!
