Onitsha
Femi is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying an accounting degree at Onitsha University, and is one term away from graduating. He has worked as a tutor to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $650. The registrar has said Femi can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Femi has a 3.8 average, and an academic advisor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Femi would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Femi isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He started and help the next student. The payment will go directly to the Onitsha University bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $650 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $120 • Final term tuition: $480 • Exam and lab fees: $40 • Textbooks and materials: $10 I hope life is good to you. - Abubakar

                        Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Munich.
