Gil Mucavele’s story is one of many ALG is proud to
tell. Growing in Xai-Xai, Gil was one of the first children supported by our
organization. In 2010, revealing a strong determination and commitment, he
asked ALG support to attend the Dentistry degree at the Dentistry University in
Nampula. At first it was hard but Gil never gave up. Far from his home town and
family, and struggling with several financial difficulties, he had to make a
lot of sacrifices. They were all worth it, and Gil became a successful young
man, concluding his Dentist degree in
2014 and his internship in November 2015.
Today he is a successful young man who is seen by the
community as a “hero” and an example to follow. He returned home for a while
and, during his time there, he contributed to improve the living conditions of
the population with oral hygiene training and short consultations for the
children in André’s pre-school. Always with a voluntary will, Gil is planning
new oral hygiene sessions for 110 children during his Christmas
holidays at André, Santa Catarina, and Flor da Infância pre-schools and in Chongoene
neighbourhoods.
Gil is a gifted young man with several skills. In parallel
to his degree, through which he’s planning to spread smiles, he’s also
passionate for music. Lately he was invited to a TV show, with his band, and he
even recorded an album.
The community and ALG are very proud of Gil. This is
the success we wish for all our children. This is the difference we wish to
make – to give children tools to enable them, in future, to break the cycle of
poverty. We want to continue to have more stories like this, we want to contribute
for more successful stories.
Gil is part of the 1% of Mozambican youngsters who manages
to attend Higher Education. This year we still have to finance several
scholarships such as Eduardo’s and, in 2015, we want to help Cinturão, both
providing a tireless support to ALG’s intervention at the SLM pre-school.
From £1’200 per year, ALG finances university fees and part of the
living costs for a small group of students with proven merit. Make your little
gesture and be a part of this success story!
