Determination is it! Kudos Freddy Makundi


Let the world hear it, man!

My cousin, Frederick is in real estate by profession, holding a responsible position in a company that has branches in all regions of Tanzania.

That didn't deter him from pursuing what he had a craving for: go for a Laws degree.

The travail of squeezing study time in a tight workday and burning midnight oil paid dividends, and on Saturday 25 October 2008 he climbed up the podium to receive his LLB, an award from 4 years of hard work.

A reporter at the Biafra, Kinondoni grounds of the Open University of Tanzania caught this emotional scene of Freddy's daughter about to decorate his dad. This photo appeared on The Sunday Citizen of 26 October.

After graduation, in the evening when we gathered to toast Fred the winner, a few speeches were given, all aimed at encouraging all in the family and beyond to value education and pursue it in earnest, because in today's world education is everything, acquiring training in one's area of competence is necessary, must.
