Joel finishes his first year

A group of parishioners and friends have for some years been sponsoring the education of a young Sudanese man, Joel Katoro, first through his A levels and now at Mbarara University in Uganda where he is doing a BSc in medical laboratory sciences. Joel recently contacted Jill and Jon Vogler by email as follows:

"I have the pleasure of extending my appreciation to you and the friends of the Church of St Edmund's Roundhay who have all along financed my study in the university. I thank you for that and encouragements I have been receiving. The course has been quite interesting and I am enjoying it.

It had not been possible to send you the full details about my course due to the amendment being made on the prospectus. I promised to furnish you with the necessary details as soon as I got them. However I am glad to inform you that these were the course units we are following .

(Joel then describes in detail the topics being studied, research work undertaken and text books used ).

I have appreciated the services being rendered by the Hugh Pilkington Charitable Trust. They have always insured that my tuition fees and allowances are catered for promptly. However I suggest that the textbook allowance be given at once and to cover the cost of all the text books instead of the usual yearly amount which won't cover the cost of all the textbooks in time.

May God bless you all.

Thanks

Yours faithfully

Sua Joel Katoro"

Joel is just finishing the first year of a four year course. We need about £1,000 a year for the next three years to complete the sponsorship. If you can help please contact me on 2933909.
