3. AN APPEAL FROM THE REVEREND TEBOHO G. KLASS:
The reason I write this email to you is to request your assistance in identifying persons or local churches that may be willing to be a blessing to one of our young people who has goal to be a medical doctor in South Africa. He is a son of late Pastor in the East Conference (19th Episcopal), who passed away in the middle of 1993 - Rev. Maloisane. His son has been living with his mother, working his educational advancement to reach matric (Grade 12). He applied to a university in Cape Town, as his indication of a career path in medicine, and the university has accepted his application pending the final results and the fees for registration. The final results of his matric examinations are due to be released on December 29th, 2004. He is dependant on the income of his mother to have the funds for his registration. Unfortunately, just a month ago, his mother who is an assistant in a doctor' surgery has been informed that she will no longer be employed at the beginning of next year. There will no longer be an income, meagre as it was, as a result of this unfortunate announcement. In order to register, he will have to pay $1,550 (approximately ZAR 10,000), which will exclude accommodation, reading materials and transport to Cape Town.
I am specifically requesting you to assist in getting people of goodwill to assist in this regard. The registration will have to be done by the end of January 2005 for him to be accepted. The Episcopal Scholarship Programme has been approached for assistance. Some contribution may come from the scholarship but it will not meet this entire required sum. To my knowledge, the programme only funds members of the church for the academic training and not the registration fees. I mean that because the funds are released long after the registration period is past.
Bishop James L. Davis already knows about this situation. I do not know what he is going to be doing about it. I am doing this in order that he may be assisted to respond to the need of this brother. I have not spoken to Bishop Davis but I believe he would not be opposed to any goodwill manifested through this initiative. Should there be any person or local church that is willing to help, I request that they get in touch with Bishop James L. Davis in Atlanta, GA. I believe, as the leader of the District, he will be more than able to administer the contributions that may come as result of this request.
Bishop Davis' contact details are:
Mobile phone # (404) 606 2282
Email: pnpass@aol.com
I thank you for your understanding and in the knowledge that you will find it helpful to extend your hand of fellowship towards this need. Since I am on holidays, I will, in most of the times, be accessible by phone. My mobile phone number is as provided below and may also be accessed at this other one for further information # +27 82 557 1798.
Once again, remember that I am on my knees, in prayer, for your health, strength, peace and joy during this season.
