A scholarship story


When we visited Mtera Secondary School in July, on our way back to Iringa after the visit to Usolanga, we met a remarkable man. He is the second headmaster at the school, Mr. Tibery Mbossa. He started by thanking us for our visit, saying we can see the love of God in you today; your scholarship support is a very big gift. But you don't just pay the fees, you even come to visit the students. It means a lot.

Then he began to tell us his own scholarship story. 

I anticipated having a life in the village. Without going to school, it is tough. Villagers have nothing to do but work hard, trying to dig by hand hoes, and work to feed their families.

One day I went to the school. I met a certain man who asked me a simple question. Why don't you go to school? I told him, there is no one to pay for me. He asked, do you like the school? I said yes. I want to be a student. I think it is possible.

He is a pastor. He joined me, I think it is possible. He asked me, what do you do at home? I told him, I am a peasant. He asked, how much money can you make per year? I told him I can make about 75,000 TSH per year. By that time, school fees were 160,000 TSH. I could only make half of the school fees. 

He told me it was possible to go to school. The pastor came here and talked to the first headmaster. He said, I have a boy and I think he is a good one. He asked me to write a letter saying I will be at least paying what I can. He came here to the headmaster, and the headmaster told him to bring me. I paid in installments, I remember I paid 30,000 when I started.

I worked hard in the classroom and the headmaster didn't ask for more fees.

Then I started form two. I remember I got an A in mathematics. It was not easy. 

By that time, Global Volunteers used to come here. One of them developed an interest in me and said that he could pay for me for forms three and four. 

Simply what I wanted to say is that what you are doing is very important. I know that life from before - that you will be like a blind man, you don't know the things you don't know, and you have nothing to do. 

So you pay the school fees, they come to school. They are nurtured here. When they come out they are grown up and they can depend upon themselves.
