Brian is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a law degree at Kampala Polytechnic, and is one term away from graduating. He has worked as a library assistant to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $600. The registrar has said Brian can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Brian has a 3.9 average, and a department head has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Brian would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Brian isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He started and help the next student. Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees. Where the $600 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $115 • Final term tuition: $460 • Exam and lab fees: $15 • Textbooks and materials: $10 Thank you for reading my story. - James
