Kenta is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a degree in civil engineering at Setagaya State College, and is one semester away from graduating. He has worked as a barista to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $4,300. The registrar has said Kenta can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Kenta has a 3.8 average, and a professor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Kenta would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Kenta 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 Setagaya State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $4,300 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,050 • Final term tuition: $1,900 • Exam and lab fees: $85 • Textbooks and materials: $265 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Updates from Junko

  1. Update from Setagaya: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 24% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($695 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    Perfect example of someone making a real difference. They took time out of their busy schedule to help me and never made me feel like a burden.

    good luck with the exams, you've got this. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

    • Bruna Mariana Almeida

      This could happen to any of us. After 7 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.

      • Babatunde Ifeanyi Quadri

        Good luck. 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.

        • Mercy Bukola Yusuf

          Sending good thoughts, Junko. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Gondar so I could bring a meal. Take care.

          • Hugo J. Vásquez

            Study hard! Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care
