Photo: Contributed  <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLast year my uncle offered to pay for my school but failed to do so and I was left to stay home and care for the house. I could not get a job to save up. I am the eldest of my five siblings so I had to stay home and take care of everyone. I was on the verge of giving up. I am skeptical about registering at Namcol because I am afraid I might fail. I also went to the International University of Management to see if they could admit me into the education faculty, but I was told they were not admitting students with E in English, as previously done. This year, if I get no assistance, I will consider going to Namcol, but I still need assistance with tuition fees. I would greatly appreciate any kind of help\u201d Johannes told Informant\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A family friend, Fikameni Hasheela, said that Johannes also sought assistance from her former class teacher, but to no avail.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHer teacher communicated to me, but she too cannot assist. I then contacted the learner\u2019s parents and they too indicated that they cannot assist their daughter. This is heartbreaking. Their daughter passed with high marks but financial difficulties are hindering her from achieving her goals in life. I am calling on everyone who believes that education is a fundamental right across the world to do the right thing and contribute whatever, in order to make Johannes\u2019 dreams a reality,\u201d Hasheela stressed.<br>Anyone willing to help Johannes can contact her on 0813226741.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"alignnormal\"><!-- MetaSlider 271797 not found --><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":286136,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-286111","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
