Wells Mountain Foundation

Iddrisu:

Most people think angels are some kind of flying creatures in the super-natural world living high up the skies. Even though I share similar sentiment, I also believe that there are even more angels living right here on earth. These are people who touch lives and makes difference in the life of others.

I have lived most of my life helping others in need of my service, especially in areas of academia since my days at secondary school to my present day in the university. At some point consulted an elderly friend and complaint to him that I felt within me that I was helping others and no one really cared about me, he encouraged me not to stop which I adhered to. Little did I know that an angel in the name Wells Mountain Foundation was about to visit me and make a big difference in my life.

I first came to know about the Wells Mountain Foundation one day during my search for a means of financing my education on the internet at the University’s Information Communication Technology Centre, and God being so good, I the homepage of the Wells Mountain Foundation appeared. I went through the stories of some of the scholarship recipients and their stories were just like mine. I made the right move and downloaded the application form and in a week’s time I was able to complete the forms, added the necessary documents and posted it to Mr. Thomas Wells. After sometime I was informed to go for an interview, from this time I knew I was coming close to getting the scholarship. I went for the interview and was able to pass successfully and was subsequently granted a full course scholarship to finish my tertiary education.

For me the Wells Mountain Foundation is a Non governmental Organization which is committed to enhancing literacy and the arts in developing economies. It has affiliations with many other small Non Governmental Organizations who are working very hard in those developing countries to champion the core operational objectives of Wells Mountain Foundation. The main source of finance for the Foundation is predominantly from the donations of benevolent organizations and private individuals. The Wells Mountain Foundation is bringing smiles to the faces of many underprivileged students and people in Sub-Sahara Africa and other developing countries. I believe that the Wells Mountain Foundation has a bright future to do more than they are currently doing and I pray for God’s guidance in this direction.

Through Wells Mountain Foundation, I have overcome many challenges and hardships. As at the time I was applying for the scholarship, my life was virtually in shambles because I did not have anybody not even my family was able to give me the money required for my fees, but right now I look at my past and my face beams with smiles with the nostalgic remembrance of the painful sorrows of yesteryears now behind me. I could not afford my school fees and my expenses on campus not to talk of getting a descent three square meals a day. This was a very tough time in my life. I lived through hardship in my first year in the university, at some point I decided to defer the course but my colleagues saw that I was very good academically and so encouraged me not defer. Thanks to Wells Mountain Foundation I’m still in school and my life has got a new light of hope and renaissance.

I can now afford my expenses in school and the only thing I now think of is to study hard and get good grades to better my chances of getting a good job after my first degree. And this will enable me to take care of my family especially my younger brother called “Zaidan” who is very dear to my heart and I do not want him to go through the worst things I had to endure. The scholarship money I get from the foundation every semester takes me closer to achieving my dreams.

I have enjoyed enormous successes since I started getting support from the Wells Mountain Foundation. Apart from the money I get for my expenses, the kind of encouragement and advise I get from Kelvin, Katherine and Jordyn is very motivating. Through the assistance I get from the foundation, I am able to maintain my first class status and now I am able to understand the things they train us in and I really appreciate the Business Administration programme I am pursuing. I still have fresh memories of my encounter with Jordyn and Katherine in Accra. It was a very important day and a day whose memory will last forever. The dinner we had that night was very spectacular and that was the first time I ate in such a beautiful place. The “Theatre Spectacular 6” I witnessed the following day was more spectacular as children displayed their talents in the arts. In fact, I was very impressed with the performance.

I will end by saying that The Wells Mountain Foundation has contributed has contributed immensely to the education of we the scholarship recipients and has touched the lives of many more and I hope this will continue. My life has taken a different direction towards hope thanks to The Wells Mountain Foundation. I really appreciate your effort at making me a responsible person in the near future. To all the donors and workers who are making the foundation what it is today, I say, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

We have all come from different walks of life and geographical differentiation, but we are all the branches of the same vine. One cannot depend solely on his or resources to achieve life ambitions. The poor ask from fellows to make life meaningful. On the other side of the sphere, the rich also depends on others for help no matter how wealthy he or she is.

I sorted out to have a university education in life and by the grace of GOD, I have acquired it. My family is poor; but that did not discourage me, because I knew my redeemer lives.

I heard about a prominent, charity, an international and education-supporting organization which will help me complete my education and help me beyond. This I proudly applied to the WELLS MOUNTAIN FOUNDATION (WMF). I am so grateful to this important organization which is making an impart in my university education.

I always give credit to this great foundation for their wonderful help they are giving to us students. My success is that, I have been able to increase in my academic average or grades. There has been improvement in my grades.

The hardship I have overcome is that of financial crisis which nearly drove me out of school in the first year. Although the grant does not cover all my expenses, but it is said that “half a loaf is better than none”

The Wells Mountain Foundation is very challenging as it helps one to acquire many life experiences. Last semester’s vacation, I taught some students from the Senior High School. As a matter of fact and so far humans are concerned, it is easy to remember what you have been talking to someone else.

It is in a way helping me to develop my personal aptitude abilities. so far as I can stand in front of about thirty students and confidently teach them is a plus. Through the provision that we should undertake a voluntary service, I have prepared a fifteen (15) document which I wish to be sponsored to carry out this initiative. It has helped me to know how to write programs. I have also written fifteen (15) pages of a story which I am looking forward to publish.

At the right time, I will forward all these writings to you.

Thank you.

Iddrisu and Thomas

WMF has indeed brought a positive impact on my life and that of my family.WMF scholarship mean everything to me because it has helped reduce my financial burden.WMF scholarship has made it possible for me to pay my fees,buy my books and pay for all other academic expenses.It has indeed helped me to cope with life on campus.Back in the high school, I could not pay for my fees, buy books and so was usually driven away from school thereby missing class periods. WMF scholarship has helped me to overcome all this challenges here in the university.

WMF scholarship has enabled me help my two younger siblings who are also in school.Indeed WMF scholarship has helped me overcome all these hardships. Aside being able to pay for fees, it has also made life on campus bearable for me. I have enjoyed so many successes ever since i got this scholarship. Aside those mentioned above,I have improved on my academic performance this semester and hope to continue for the remaining semesters.
