I received this letter from Moses, who was awarded a scholarship to study Information Technology in India at St. Claret, an affiliated college of the University of Bangalore.
Hi Dad,
My school – is a very good school. I like it because there are alot of students from different places especially Asians. It makes me feel good to be one of the pioneer African students at school. I am so happy that one my roommates is a Ugandan who a got ascholarship too. He is from Seeta High School. There are also students from South Africa and the Ivory Coast
I enjoy electronics classes because I like dealing with practical work. Education in India is more practical than education in Uganda which focuses more on theory.
I managed to get a third position in a group discussion which was organised on science day celebrations at school. Prizes will be given to us in the major celebration at school during December.
I also got selected on the school basketball team, thanks to Brian Moll who used to teach me while we played against each other.
The food is too spicey but I am kinda of getting used to it. Though when I first arrived, I hardly ate.
What i like about india is that there is a high rate of infrastructure development. A lot is lacking in Uganda that I have experienced in India. Our generation must work on these things in the next five years. This is what Uganda must do to attain a rate of development equivalent to countries like India, which were once third world but are now advancing:
- empower women,
- invest in education,
- encourage investments through offering incentives,
- offer help to NGOs like L.E.A.D Uganda
People in India are hardworking. I guarantee you in the next 20 years India is going to have a strong economy which will see its GDP rise more than that of America.
I had never seen women engineers who work on building sites but I was astonished when I noticed that in india actually they might be more than the men. There is no job discrimination. In fact most of the lecturers at our school are women
The government is fighting illiteracy. Most of the schools I see here are public schools which shows you the effort government is putting in education.
Though am having a good experience in India, my dream is to get to college in the United States of America.
Thank you for laying a foundation for me. It is now up to me to build on it.
