Gebre's final semester of a nursing degree in Bahir Dar

Gebre is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a nursing degree at the Bahir Dar Institute of Technology, 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 $400. The registrar has said Gebre can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Gebre has a top-ten-percent average, and a faculty supervisor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Gebre would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Gebre 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 $400 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $185 • Final term tuition: $185 • Exam and lab fees: $15 • Textbooks and materials: $15 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Mihret
