Here at St Jude鈥檚 we鈥檙e passionate about developing Tanzania鈥檚 next generation of leaders.
That is why it is so exciting that one of our talented students is already making a name for himself in the nation鈥檚 capital.
Form 4 student Hazzbon (pictured, left) travelled to Dodoma this month to receive an award from the Ministry of Education for his moving essay about climate change. In the essay, Hazzbon, who hopes to become a civil engineer, stressed the importance of students being educated about climate change.
鈥淚t is a major issue, not only in our country, but across the world,鈥� he said.
Hazzbon鈥檚 essay was awarded first place in Tanzania after finishing fourth at the international Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) Secondary Schools Essay Competition in Zimbabwe.
The competition included entries from Angola, Botswana, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Seychelles, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
Hazzbon travelled to the Ministry of Education this month to receive his certificate.
He was joined by Joseph (right), another Form 4 student who impressed St Jude鈥檚 judges with his powerful essay-writing skills.
鈥淚 am personally proud of Hazzbon for his hard work and determination,鈥� said St Jude鈥檚 librarian Lightness, who helped the students with their essays. 鈥淚 must say he deserved it.鈥�
