GOD SENT
My name is Muriki Antony, a hardworking a beneficiary of NCCK scholarship program. I hail from Meru County, Kigoma village and am 27years old.
Am an orphan having been raised by my mum who died while I was in form three. As a result I was put under care of maternal relatives and under no one in particular. As a result I was put on a kind of merry go round moving from one relative to another. Getting assistance in cloths and food. Fortunately I got a scholarship from a private school that sponsored me through the remaining of my primary school education.
Getting in high school was a struggle. We held a harambee that didn’t raise much and thus it was a challenge paying for my first year fees. This Shaw me constantly away from school for lack of fees. Luckily, I got wind of the NCCK scholarship programme from Mr. Nkanata of KSCF who used to come to minister in our C.U. I applied, went for interview and luckily enough I qualified.
My high school become much more bearable going forward. I had no worries as pertaining to the payment of my fees and this brought immerse peace to my life. I was able to pay more attention to my studies and this ultimately led to my good performance in my final exams.
Apart from the scholarship I got to attend national retreat where I was imparted greatly to become a better person and to constantly improve myself. The constant monitoring and the concern showed by the Regional office staff kept me on my toes and the end term letter write-ups also made me ensure I kept my self active within the school, the C.U and general school activities.
Mine is bigger appreciation to the NCCK fraternity for the incredible work they continue to do in our country.
My hope and dream is at this programme continues in bigger and even better ways to impact even more lives. I hope with the new alumni network established shall be able to play my role in seeing through this dream.
