Help Melubo Achieve his Dream

Donation protected
Can you please help me to send Melubo to university?

This summer I fulfilled a lifelong dream and traveled to Africa with my family. While there, we had the pleasure of meeting this very bright, smiling, and charming kid named Melubo, along with his family. They were unbelievably gracious and hospitable. Melubo is a very happy and kind person who went out of his way to make us feel at home. He is a member of the Maasai tribe. He lives with his clan in the Kilimanjaro area in mud huts. Several years ago, a school was established in their village that gave him an opportunity for education. He got a great education. He then went on to high school and did remarkably well. Mind you, school in Tanzania is much more demanding than the most demanding schools in the U.S. I'm not kidding. This kid is crazy smart. Now, it is his dream to go to University. The total cost for the program is $5,000. (That's just tuition - he has other expenses as well.) I have committed to help raise the money to help him. If you are able to contribute just $5 or $10 or $20 you will be making a real lasting impact on his life and on his community.

Here is his story in his own words:

My name is Melubo Keyaro Palangyo, I am from a family of ten people. I have siblings plus me makes eight children in my family. My father and mother are unemployed and so they depend on manual work that comes around [to make] a living. I am the second born in my family and the only child who succeeded in education. I live in a large village called Sanya Station in an extended family as a clan. My plan and goal is to become a doctor but I feel like I can't make it because I know my parents have no money to support my education. I really wish to be a doctor specifically a dentist which has always been my dream.
