Recently, at the beginning of this month, just like my friend Cambodia, who has been searching a post graduate scholarship on MBA, I am looking for a fully funded scholarship, for an MA in Peace Studies and Conflict Resolution. I come from South Sudan, where there has been a lot of violence and fighting!
Therefore, I appreciate the way you have posted the application of the guy from Cambodia! Hence, if you have any available, and fully funded scholarships, for post graduate seekers, I will be happy, if I could supported to realize my vision, of working hard, to contribute in peace-building and to preach love, tolerance, unity, democracy and the spirit of nationalism among the people of South Sudan. In doing so, at least I will have participated and contributed in bringing lasting peace and development in the youngest nation of East Africa, through your support. If I succeed in doing that, it will not be me, but rather DAAD’s initiative and good will, of giving support to those who are longing and thirsting for peace in the war-torn South Sudan!
I am sure you will support on this venture, since I very poor, and do not have any money to fulfill my desire and ambition, to contribute to peace-building and reconciliation in my country-South Sudan!
I hope to hear from you soon, in the coming days! I am so excited about the prospect!
I have 2 degrees, in both philosophy and theology. But, having an MA in Peace Studies and Conflict Resolution will answer directly to the urgent of support for South Sudan, at this critical moment, particularly for the young generation, who are at the college and the university levels!
I wish you God’s Blessings!
