Testimonial von Josephine Awuor vom 24.12.2018
I am Josephine Awuor, a former SKCF Beneficiary and a godchild to adorable godmother – Ms. Hedi Allseits. To give brief background information of myself, I am a lady aged 20 years, currently studying at the university pursuing a course leading to Bachelor Degree of Education Arts.
I am the second born in a family of three siblings (all ladies). I grew up under the care of my grandmother who passed away while I was seven years of age and a standard one pupil. The world didn’t give me an opportunity to see my parents… I’ve only lived with aunties and uncles. My education had been smooth until I joined Secondary School. In Kenya, Primary Education is free and so only little amount of money was needed which my guardian could afford. However Secondary Education demands a lot of money as well as university.
I reported to Secondary School I was called three days after the official reporting day reason being I was sent back home with my uncle who had accompanied me for the principal couldn’t allow me to be admitted due to unpaid school fee, though through the struggles of my uncle I was later admitted. All was not well as I could be frequently sent back home for school fees… I vividly recall an incident when I was in Form Two, First Term when the school principal sent me home to collect school fee, came back with what my uncle could afford at the moment but only for her to send me back again.
It was at this time that my class teacher intervened in my situation. Being a friend to the SKCF – Chairman, Mr Odiang’a, He directed me to him. I met with Mr Odiang’a and explained to him my predicament. Luckily he accepted to sponsor me through SKCF.He later introduced me to my now godmother, Ms Hedi Allseits – a good mother with a good heart.
Since I got the sponsorship, I never had any challenge to do with school fee, not even at the university level as Mum Hedi has been taking care of my university education. I have seen many university students differ their studies due to school fees but I have been safe. I thank God for depositing such a treasure into my life when I least expected.
It has now been my dream and a dream that must come true… a dream to trace back my roots in SKCF and also support the needy students of SKCF.
I would like to offer my heartfelt appreciation to you and the whole fraternity of SKCF, just to mention but a few, Ms. Hedi Allseits, Mr. Charles Cornu, Ms.Annaleman, among others for their tremendous support towards this organization and for always paying us visits to Kenya – a rare thing that other organizations do. I am hoping to meet you come January. May God continuously bless the work of your hands. AMEN!
