Dear members of QSRA,
I am most grateful for the support you have given me up to this far. I am coming to my final year with
the hopes that I shall finish up my write-up draft by July next year. So far, I am progressing well with my
studies, having finished my field research, and handed in three chapters. I traveled to the University of
Birmingham for a residential visit in this month of September and met with my supervisor.
I am looking forward to starting the writing of the whole draft to graduate in the following year,2024.
My supervisor encouraged me to finalize the draft to reduce the amount of the tuition fee to be paid as
we work on editing the draft and await graduation.
Therefore, I return to you again to ask for your help in paying the tuition for this year.
Langham Partnership will pay 60% of the total tuition of £17,880, after which I remain with a balance of
£7,080 to be paid in three installments of £2,360 each in November, February, and May.
Your help in this time of need will be most appreciated.

A Message From Oscar Malande
I am so thankful and grateful for the donations made in the previous year. I was able to clear the tuition fee. So far there has been great progress in my studies. I successfully went through a rigorous progress panel review committee that allowed me to proceed to the second year of my studies. Also, the ethical review committee approved my research project. I will soon start doing the interviews. Already, I have submitted my literature review chapter and continue to write on the history of Kenyan Quakerism.
As I look forward to beginning the second year of my study, I come back to you again to kindly request your help in paying the tuition fee. The total fee will be £17,880. After reviewing my academic progress Langham Partnership Scholarship renewed its pledge to pay £10,800. Also, Hubbert Trust will pay £1,000.
Your help in raising the remaining balance of £ 6,080 will be of great help. Again I kindly request the commitment of the donations to be sustained for the next two years, the targeted time of finishing my studies.
Thank you and blessings to you.
Thanks
Oscar

Dear Friends,
I am Oscar Lugusa Malande, a graduate of Master of Arts in Religion at Earlham School of Religion. I am a member of Vihiga Yearly Meeting of Friends in Kenya currently serving as a lecturer at Friends Theological College Kaimosi Kenya. I have been admitted at the University of Birmingham, Woodbrooke Quaker Study Centre. I have a four-year scholarship from the prestigious Langham Partnership Scholarship of £10,800. I need to raise the remaining balance of £7080. I have already paid £2002 remaining with a balance of £5078. Every year for the three years, I will need to raise the remaining balance of the total tuition estimated to be £10000. I have already started my studies and progressing on well. My vision is to develop African Christian Quaker theological voice globally in sharing and carefully articulating the growth and development of Quakers in the African Christian context. I will also explore ways that will add to the continuing global north-south dialogue initiative. Out of the research project, I hope to update the existing scholarship on Quakerism. I look forward to developing a graduate program that is needed in Africa, especially in Quaker studies. Hopefully, with the studies,I will be able to develop and teach in the graduate program. The burden in my heart is being a role model and a mentor, critical in developing future scholars in theological studies among Friends, especially in Africa. Above all having the ability to continue serving God, humanity and all creation more effectively are necessary for me. I am short of funds and kindly requesting your help in raising the funds to enable me fulfil my dream. I request a commitment of the donations to be sustained for at least three years, the targeted time of finishing my studies. Thank you and blessings to you. |
