This is Zewelanjis letter to ZIKOMO and donors:
“Dear Zikomo,
last year I sat for my fourth year exams, which enabled me obtain my Bachelor’s Degree in Human Biology and paved way for me to proceed into fifth year to continue my pursuit in acquiring my Medicine and Surgery degree.
However, there was a setback in my continuation of studies due to financial difficulties as my sole provider was unable to continue to provide and support for all that was required for me to continue and finish my remaining three years of clinical studies.
Today I write to express my sincere gratitude to ZIKOMO for having accepted my application and the hope restored of having me continues with my studies. I am grateful to the ZIKOMO family for providing an ideal opportunity for me to learn, work and grow towards my goal in gaining realworld experience in Medicine and Surgery. I am ready to work harder and do the very best I can to achieve my goals and contribute to helping people in need of health services.
Thank you for welcoming me to the ZIKOMO family.
Zewelanji”
