After leaving Kenya last August, I asked my hostess, Beth Lenayasa, if she needed anything. She wanted the same thing every Samburu I met wanted: an education. Beth was able to graduate high school after getting a much sought-after scholarship from the Samburu Youth Education Fund, and because of it, she's been able to run an AirBnB and Etsy shop for her village. But she needed a degree in tourism for her village to thrive. She had hoped to start school in April 2022. When I didn't hear from her in April, I reached out and asked if it was too late to attend school that semester. She replied: Yes it's too late indeed I was about to give up with the school but they didn't take any intake they were confirming when 2021 result to be place so that they can have a good number of students and give out the intake day at once! I was contacting them all time and they respond to me they they had confirmed my admission and i need to wait till August when everything is okay! Sorry for the delay. She them sent me an email from the college: Dear Applicant, This is to acknowledge receipt of your application to Wildlife Research and Training Institute( Formerly Kenya Wildlife Service Training Institute) We wish to inform you that the intake is scheduled to be in August 2022( Specific date to be communicated) in the admission Letter to be sent in due course. Please do not hesitate to seek any clarification to the undersigned In less than a month, she'll send updates about her first day at school. We can't wait to hear how it goes! While she's in school, her sister will be taking care of her kids. Elizabeth's school is a 9-hour bus drive away from her children, or a 3-hour car ride for anyone with $450 to spend. We would love to help her sister with the girls' living expenses. Every bit helps! To help Elizabeth and her family, Venmo us @heartprojects. Thank you for your support!
