A 23-year-old boy who is the first child in a family of 6 children to attend tertiary education in the commercial city of Blantyre is failing to complete his Certificate in Journalism studies due to poverty.

The boy, Dickson Kabowa, made it to pursue journalism studies at the Malawi Institute of Journalism (MIJ) last year in June after getting 28 points on his Malawi School Certificate Examination of 2015.

According to Dickson, his journey from primary school to Mpemba community day secondary school has been so difficult considering the economic status of his family.

The young man said in secondary school he was once on government bursary and after that he had to work for his school fees since his mother, the only parent, could not manage to source K4500 for fees per term.

“Honestly, my life has been and is being so difficult to achieve my goals on education because of the economic hardships of our family since my mother could not manage to source money for school fees. “You can also imagine that I had to go for piece work to source the fees and to feed the family in some cases a thing which has been so difficult to me as a child of the family,” worried Dickson when telling his story to Malawi24.

Where all your power, intelligence and money ends, Jesus Christ starts from that as it was the case of Dickson when he was pondering what to do after scoring 28 points in 2015 MSCE exams.

The student was told he will be helped by Chisomo Kasende who knew Dickson’s situation early 2016 when he went to work as a volunteer at the Hunger Project Malawi in Mpemba.

Kasende managed to pay K230,000 for 2016 June to December semester but now he has only paid K50,000 for 2017 January to June semester since he is no longer working and has no money to help Dickson complete his certificate studies.

He has since asked for well-wishers to help the young man with money amounting to K180, 000 for fees on top of his K50,000 which he already paid.

“Dickson Kabowa needs help to complete his Certificate in Journalism. He is a hardworking lad who has fought for so long to attain an education despite his low financial background. He is so keen on becoming a journalist,” humbly requested Kasende told Malawi24.

Dickson who comes from Dankeni village, Mpemba in the area of Traditional Authority Nsomba, visited several offices plus the Blantyre welfare office a week ago for help but he was told they don’t help tertiary education students.

  57. HELP A BROTHER OUT CAMPAIGN. THE REWARD OF GIVING SECRETly. . PART TWO (2) Read, like ,share and support the campaign. There’s an un imaginable power that comes from giving or rather helping secretly and this is called a reward or rather a blessing. . A reward is only a result from being honest. Honest is doing something right even when you can see a lot of opportunity around your self to do something wrong and you know no one will know that it’s you who did the wrong thing . Mainly that’s were the power of a reward /blessing is drived from. That’s why it’s good for everyone to do the right thing always!!@ Home/work/ church/ xul/weather alone or in public. and one of which is giving/ helping secretly. By doing this you will have promoted help a brother out campaign and we will be helping our selves to create a brand new and better world tomorrow for ourselves and our siblings. It’s not by force but rather it’s a good thing (postive vibes/energy/habits/blessings) So let us all participate in this campaign by being practical in order to creat a better world tomorrow, #remember.only.by.acting.together.can.we.achieve.this.goal. NOTE. Remember it makes much more sense when you give from dip down your hart rather than just giving for the sake of giving because it’s just as good as nothing. So today look around your self see that person in Ineed help them out. take note that helping is not only inform of money and job. helping a brother or sister you don’t know without asking for anything in return could be emotionally, spiritually, physically as well as financially. . Deutronomy 15:7 says if there be among you a poor man of one of the brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, shoult not harden thine hart, nor shul thine hand from thy poor brother. it is by acting together as one can we achieve the @HELP-A-BROTHER-OUT-CAMPAIGN so help someone today of course the area of help that you can manage to help. In our daily walks of our lives of each and everyone one of us, our work places, churches, schools, colleges, our communities, homes, town cities, and our country as whole we see many brothers and sisters we don’t who needs our help may you please extende your helping hands to them without asking for anything in return. . . Acording to scientists the earth or rather the world we are living in is a round thing so what ever you throw to it meaning nature will definitely bounce back to you , if you throw good things to it , it will bring back good fortune to you. And if you throw bad vibes It will bring you the same bad vibes or rather bad luck to you . . It’s a simple principle look at it in this angle .physically when you hit someone you know or don’t know expect the same to happen to you any moment from that/ academically you don’t study that’s bad (negative vibes/energy/habit) expect bad results too. . so what are you hoping to achieve this year / your dreams, is it promotion, a business contract, finishe your course, a job, ministrial postion , a baby, a husband, a wife , healing, your children to succeed, popularity/fame, what ever your hart desire to achieve. You are very positive and confident that you want to achieve this but are you sure you have been doing good to others or rather doing good enough to nature that it will give you what you usually give it? check the link below https://mobile.facebook.com/Help.a.Brother.Out.Campaign/?ref_component=mbasic_bookmark&ref_page=XMenuController
