MANDAGO ASKS STUDENTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES TO CONSIDER THEIR KEENS BACK AT HOME
Uasin Gishu County Governor Jackson Mandago has challenged school leavers who have secured opportunities to study abroad through the county government’s help to consider supporting at least one student from their area as a gesture of helping more youths from the needy family background to pursue studies and jobs in foreign countries.
Speaking during a ceremony to flag off students who are set to study nursing courses in Finland Mandago told the beneficiaries that they stand to secure employment that will enable them to meet the cost of their studies and accommodation hence saving their parents from shouldering the burden.
The governor however warned the beneficiaries against sending their savings to people not known well to them as they stand to lose their money.
Mandago told the beneficiaries that they can make a lot of money abroad which can transform their lives and that of their family members when they decide to come back home after their studies.
Mandago alarmed some of the people who have successfully studied and worked in the foreign countries before deciding to return home and their families by discouraging those intending to study from doing so terming the action as ill-motivated and selfish.
More than 101 students have benefited since the program was initiated two years ago.
