Gil is with A Little Gesture from
a young age. Currently 24 years old, he was one of our earlier Uni Scholarship
students attending the Dentistry course in Nampula. This November, we were so
proud to see him graduate from College, our very first ALG child to do so with
our support!
This road was not always easy
for the hardworking Gil. Moving 1’823km north from his home town, Xai-Xai, Gil
had to sacrifice a lot to study... He headed to Nampula in a small bus, which took
him three days and three nights, with a few belongings. He was only able to go
back to his hometown two years later. He was planning to give some tutoring lessons
to be able to help with the expenses, but it was not possible because the schedule
in the hospital is very intense, and he also had practical classes.
He sent us a moving and tender
testimony this Summer and he is living proof that effort and hard work pay off.
“Hello
Everything is well here,
I already sent my grades for
the past semester. My greatest wish is to finish my degree and become a
reference doctor in Dentistry... To work, help my family and other people in
need, mainly children. My wish is to provide
beautiful smiles to everyone… and specialize in Dental Prosthesis or Public
Health. Also, God willing, I wish to maintain my ability to play musical
instruments and sewing clothes.
I cannot thank ALG enough for
all the help and for the opportunity they gave me! Thanks to your efforts I’m
being able to fulfil my greatest dream that will change my life.
Thank you ALG and all the
aunties. I wish you all the best and healthy smiles, SMILING IS MY MISSION
