Kasarani
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a pharmacy diploma at Kasarani University, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a tutor to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $500. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.8 average, and my faculty supervisor has written in support of my application for a payment plan. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support my younger siblings. Without enrolling this term I'd lose my place and my scholarship eligibility. I'm not asking for a handout - I want to finish what I started and then help the next student. The payment will go directly to the Kasarani University bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $500 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $165 • Final term tuition: $240 • Exam and lab fees: $55 • Textbooks and materials: $40 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Ochieng

  • Sending strength. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Sukkur!

    • Take care. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.

      • rooting for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Ciudad de México.

              Thanks for sharing this, Ochieng. Study hard! After 6 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Saket.
