My Nonprofit Reviews

Kornyoh Enyonam Peter is my name. I am the youngest child in a family of five (mom, dad, my eldest sister and my elder twin brother). I come from Aflao in the Volta region of Ghana. I spent most of my hay days in Kumasi where I was brought up. I had my primary school education in Kumasi, proceeded to St. Peter’s secondary school in the Eastern region and currently I am in the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology offering Bsc. In Civil Engineering.
I am a beneficiary of the Education Pathway’s International Scholarship to brilliant but needy students in the university. I am very grateful to Mr. and Mrs. Lafrance for their generosity to many people in Africa of which I am apart. The depth of appreciation for this act of benevolence cannot easily be quantified. Many a time, when I envisage my days back in the primary, secondary and my first year in the university (the period prior to obtaining this scholarship) I am short of words of the goodness of the Lord in my life through the life of the Lafrance. My parents had to hustle through the hot weather day in and day out to pay our fees. Many times the money accrued in their endeavours could not cater for all of our fees and they resort to taking of loans from the bank to pay our fees. Though other necessary items such as books were still not available we still had to bear with our condition knowing our parents we doing whatever they could do in their capacity.
One major deadlock was when my twin brother and I gain admission into the university. The tuition fees and accommodation bills were that huge compared to their capacity that the option of one of us staying back in the house whiles the other continue with university education was being contemplated upon. But my parents still went for more loans to pay or our fees.
To cut this long story short, I did not know how my parents were going to survive with the culture of taking loans from the bank to foot all our bills in school for the next four years of university education knowing that they already owe some banks. But thanks be unto God, a senior friend introduced me to EPI and today I can boldly say that since then my university tuition fees, my accommodation fees, feeding money and my books for studies have all been taken care off by EPI.
I am so happy in school, I am among the best in my class and I look forward into the future with great hopes and expectation, thanks be to God and the EPI fraternity. To the Lafrance I am forever grateful. I thank God for the life of Auntie Eunice, our coordinator, for all the life changing topics she teaches us to mould our lives in preparation for the world out there. To the whole EPI family I am so excited and happy I am apart of you.
