Mother and father are both alive and jobless—brother pays for his school—3 sibilings
Brother is a carpenter in the country side who also has a family of his own. Sometimes his brother fails to pay his school fees, which forces Sammy to go home from school. If there is no money, his brother will come to the school and make promises on the payment of the school fees.
“My grades are above average, between a B- and a B+”
“My hope and dream is to become a lawyer to foster justice in our country”
“I would like to start a youth development organization and also a children’s home to care for the needy children who have no one to educate them like me now”
“Mostly the obstacles to my dreams is just the lack of school fees”
“Mostly I used to eat at school and it was only for lunch”
“I deserve a GEF scholarship because I have nobody to pay for my school fees”
“I have a personal strength in leadership. Even in class eight, I was the school head boy leading more than six hundred pupils. In the church, I was the youth leader in our parish. I have never had people coming to me with complaints about my leadership”
“Right now, I work with the youth to conserve the environment and give assistance to the aged. I also improve the unity in the community by organizing the communal activities for the youth like playing games and sports together”
