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
