Out
of School because of fees
Aber Stella lost both parents during
the war with the Lord’s Resistance Army. She joined Women Development Centre in
February 2014 and registered for hairdressing course. Towards the end of term
one, the centre sent students back home for failure to pay the fees
requirements. Stella (A child mother) who is a mother to Rwotdit Jerald was
among students sent home to get school fees. Unfortunately, when she went home
her Uncle told her that he does not have money to continue paying her. Stella
then stayed at home and as second term opens in May, Stella could not return to
the centre. Instead she left the home of his uncle and started staying with a
grandmother and digging inorder to make end meets. The Good news came when
Marie said they could help to support the 11 students. I struggled to get
Stella back and finally on Friday 30, Stella came to me and I told her to come
back to school on Monday 2nd May 2014. 
I am also trying to get the rest back to the
centre because Marie has accepted to pay their fees. Are you also willing to
pay one or two students at the Centre? The Total cost per term can be just
about 100 US dollars per term and we have only three terms in a year. The
hairdressing course takes only one year and thereafter the students can be able
to support themselves and their children.
