An education at Nehemiah Gateway University only starts in the classroom. The dual study model ensures that classroom time is matched by real-world work experiences. Nehemiah Gateway’s project work, in Albania and further afield, offers incredible opportunities for students to put theory into practice.
Students Coletha and Dotto come from Tanzania, and this summer they interned for three months at Tanzania Orphans Mission (TOM), an orphanage and school in the Mbeya region of Tanzania. They helped teach English and computer literacy to some of the orphans, and applied their classroom expertise in the areas of human resources and materials management. Coletha says that “since we are also orphans who have been raised in an orphanage, we understand the struggles of these kids.”
Joana, an Albanian student at NGU, will also be using her education to help out at TOM. After she graduates in December, she will manage financial reporting for construction of a new dormitory at TOM for the orphans—a project funded through a grant from the German government. Joana says that “being able to combine theory and practical training during university studies is one of the best things NGU has offered me.”
Your support is making it possible for students like Coletha, Dotto, and Joana to learn and to help others.
With gratitude,
Sarah
