Dear sir/madam.
RE – THE PLIGHT OF A REFUGEE STUDENT IN NAIROBI KENYA
Kindly permit me to solicit for a little bit of your time to read this letter.
Iam ADEN ALI IFTIN.arefugee from Dadaab, Kenya. I came to this country precisely 18 years ago, at the onset things weren’t so difficult as it’s these days because before I was a student and having completed secondary school, these is where one finds it quit uneasy to get employed because of lack of jobs in the country and a large number of secondary graduates in the camps create a room for competition of jobs and survival for the fittest.
One morning I have decided to go and look for a job outside the camps and the nearest possible area for getting employment opportunity. So I went Nairobi Kenya to meet the family sustenance since there is no father and the rest of my families’ lives below the poverty line. I have worked hard day and night and have managed to send little money back home for my little brother and sisters’ to buy school stationeries to pursue their vision.
Shortly afterward one thought swiftly came into my mind that I could perhaps, be much more in better position to help my family and my community as well if I could study more to obtain higher academic level because during my childhood my lovely mother use to persuade me that Education is the knowledge of putting one’s potentials to maximum use. One can safely say that a human being is not in the proper sense till he is educated And told me that The first is that the training of a human mind is not complete without education.
Education makes man a right thinker. It tells man how to think and how to make decision. And finally man is enabled to receive information from the external world; to acquaint himself with past history and receive all necessary information regarding the present. Without education, man is as though in a closed room and with education he finds himself in a room with all its windows open towards outside world. And from ageniuing point of view Education has an immense impact on the human society. One can safely assume that a person is not in the proper sense till he is educated. It trains the human mind to think and take the right decision. In other words, man becomes a rational animal when he is educated. In this juncture I do here by appeal fro your support to revive this vision.
Looking forward to hear from you.
Thanks and GOD bless you.
Best regard;
Aden Ali Iftin

Dear Sir / Madam,
Re: Application for a Scholarship
I hereby want to apply for a scholarship to your noble and life changing organization. After carefully reading and observing your work, vision and mission, more especially your Programs in Education, I truly saw a big and real sense of hope through your organization.
Dear Sir, as my back ground is so scruffy without any “hope” in it, allow me to express myself and hope to see hope to my coming future through your righteous organization. I am a Burundian refugee living in the Dzaleka Refugee Camp in Malawi for the past 17 years. I was violently forced out of school in 1994, while I was just started my 1st year of University, and later on after the loss of both parents and some members of my family, I saw no hope of surviving and I had to flee the country without knowing where I was going. With the protection of All Might God, I was just escaped from terrible violent torture, full of wounds in my body, I was found myself through people’s help (some Priests) in the country of Malawi. I was sheltered in the camp that I am up to now, since 1995 when I arrived, with only food assistance, till today. I struggled in this camp in almost everything as this country does not allow any of us, refugees, to either do tertial education or working. We are condemned to remain like this all our life, and this is the reason why I had to stretch out my hands and see if I can be helped in any way or another, on my further education.They are several Colleges and Private University which are ready to accept us, as refugees, to enroll with their colleges/University as long as you have a sponsor for your education. Please Sir, I humbly ask for a scholarship from your noble organisation or any of the sponsor organisation you may direct me to.
I am confident that once assisted to this Sir, I will also try my best and make an impact in my community as we are all same people no matter segregation and xenophobia system that is used on us. Kindly help me to have a carrier that I will at least relay on so that I should be a useful person in this world.
I am looking forward for your assistance.
Thank you for your kindness to read my message and may God bless you and your family.
Yours truly
Philip RUZUNGA
