Dear Zambia,
A Father of Five from M'tendere township in LUSAKA is appealing for assistance to raise tuition fees for his son, who has been accepted to the University of Zambia to study Natural Sciences.
EDWARD PHIRI says although his son, GIDEON PHIRI has been given a 75 percent bursary, he is unable to raise the remaining one point five million kwacha.
Mr PHIRI told ZNBC News that he can NOT afford to raise the remaining tuition fees because he is unemployed.
He also thanked government for ensuring that vulnerable children access education through the bursary scheme.
Mr PHIRI said that anyone that can want to assist him can call on 097-4-558257.
