"Now what I would like to say is that may the Almighty God who blesses people bless you, your children and your country so much." So writes Rita, a student at Beacon of Hope College in Soroti. Her letter was one of many from the students there who wrote Pilgrim with thanks for making education available to so many who have no other access. Here are more excerpts from the packet of letters that arrived at the Seattle Pilgrim office.
"The main aim of writing to you this letter is to appreciate you for all the mighty things you have done to me and our family at large for giving me a sponsorship. This has opened my eyes, individually made me responsible and hopeful in every aspect of life and above it all has enrichly laid out a bright future. My sincere thanks and greetings goes to all Pilgrim partners and donors for the faith to donate which has made nothing to something. I pray for blessings, success and favour in all you set plans." -Stephan
"The main reason for writing this letter to you is to thank you for availing me free education. I am now looking forward to see my future ahead and I am working very hard to achieve my goals. My favorite subjects are accounts and geography. I would like to become an accountant in future if God wishes because he is the provider of everything and I can't do anything without him. I am ending saying thank you very much may God bless you." - Priscilla
"I appreciate you for the help you have offered to me most especially education. I had no hopes of continuing my education when my parents passed away. But I want to thank the Almighty God who used Pilgrim as his servants to come and serve us. Now I am at school working hard to achieve my goal and I want to become a great woman in future. Once more I say thank you very much for your support and my Almighty God bless the work of your hands and your families." - Emimmer
"I want to thank you for your sponsorship and support to us and for providing us food. We are enjoying posho and beans so much. May God bless you and bless the work of your hands for ever and forever Amen." -Joan
"I am really very grateful for you sponsoring me, for even paying the fees, the meals and the treatment you have provided for me. I really got a big challenge and faced many problems in my life. Now that you are sponsoring me I report that I am free from challenges and therefore am going to concentrate well in class and be among the best in the school a school of great standard. Thank you for the help." -Felistus
"Thanks for having given me the opportunity to have a free education. I pray may the Almighty God who appointed you to help me add you more and more blessings. May the sovereign God give you success in everything you do. I know God has a purpose for you and me. He knew he chose me to be under sponsorship and he knew that you were going to help me... I feel good when I am at school. My father has 10 children and out of the 10 I am the only one who falls under free education. Thanks for helping my dad." - Norbert
