For the past two weeks, our partner schools Arusha Modern School and Usa River Academy closed for a short break. Our scholars go home for holidays. Form two and class seven students had a holiday of two weeks before going back to school prepare for their national examinations. TFFT tries to help give our scholars school supplies.
As a Scholarship Assistance Manager, I am responsible for purchasing basic goods needed by the scholars. Our Logistics Manager, Deo, assisted me to buy the items and supply our scholars. Some of the necessities we provide include bar soaps, toothpaste, bath soap, Vaseline, hair tonic, shoe polish, toiletries, pens, exercise books, a mathematical set, coloured pencils, counter books, pencils, and spring files for secondary scholars. We are happy to give our scholars supplies to help them to feel comfortable in school. Our scholars express happiness and gratitude upon receiving the supplies.
Also in the Scholarship Program, we work on the identification of new scholars for enrollment in TFFT’s Scholarship Program in 2017. In the past, we identified new scholars in November. This year we decided to identify earlier to make sure we have time to collect correct information about each new scholar from the village leader, neighbors, their current school, and family. We look forward to finalizing the identification of our new scholars. In my next blog, I will tell you more about the identification of our new scholars.
