In Uganda, Government Scholarships to University are most often won in the capital of Kampala. In June of 2019 Bishop Comboni, a rural secondary school, had 5 students receive scholarships. There were only 7 awarded in the entire District of Kanungu with a population of 252,000. This is a huge achievement for a rural school and the best reason to retain the teachers on staff.
This happy young woman and her mentor/counselor are smiling for good reason. Babrah is a Bwindi Community Program sponsored student. She will have her tuition to University paid by the government and the counselor is basking in a job well done. It has been an essential relationship; guidance and wisdom when needed for a rural student with a desire to make a good life for herself. It is not over, but the foundation for her future is strong!
