Das ist Gideons Brief an ZIKOMO:

Dear ZIKOMO

It is with great honor to write to you this letter. This letter I am writing is to express my sincere appreciation to your prestigious organization for granting me the scholarship to be able to continue to the tertiary level.

My name is Gideon Aryee Teiko and I am twenty-six years of age. I am in my first year at Accra Technical University and I am currently pursuing my Higher National Diploma (HND) in electrical engineering for three years which I also plan to further up with my Bachelor’s degree after I graduate.

I have three siblings and I am the youngest one among my siblings. I lost my father at an early age of 10. My mother took care of me in my basic and Junior high school education. In my last year in JHS, I came in contact with Pastor Evans who also began to support me. I was able to complete JHS successfully with good grades and enrolled into Emit Electronics Technical Institute. I graduated from Emit Electronics institute and was awaiting my result to enter into college, my mother got involve in a lorry accident where she broke her right leg. This have delayed my plan of entering into college. But with a goal in mind to become an electrical engineer and to support the poor and needy children in my community and also to make the world a better place to live, I never reliant but attached myself to Grand King George Engineering Company Limited to acquire more skills on the field. I love electrical engineering and I have passion for it because it expands my way of thinking and knowledge in various fields.

I thank ZIKOMO for granting my application to sponsor my university education fees. With this opportunity, I promise to take my studies serious and also set a pace for the young ones who are looking up to me as their role model.

Once again I want to say a very BIG THANK YOU to every member of ZIKOMO and their sponsors (donors). May God richly bless you all for your good work.

Yours sincerely,

Gideon.
