For many people today, saving money is a helpful way to put some money away that they might need in the future for an emergency or to pay for a goal they have had, such as furthering their studies or building their house. However, saving on your own is not as easy to do. It takes discipline and commitment.
“I genuinely love all the changes around campus, especially the pavers. My favourite area is around Bishop Tucker, which is really pleasing to the eye,” said Michelle Lubogo, a second-year law student.
His radiance is hard to miss. Bubbly and so full of life, a young man with dreams the size of a truck. Though Somali by descent, he hasn’t let borders confine his pursuit for knowledge. He has decided to transcend boundaries.

Jesus said that some kinds of things won’t go except by prayer and fasting (Matthew 17:21). Even when our patience is tested by our very own children, we should never give up the habit of praying and fasting for them. These children are a gift and blessing from God. Commit everything to Him. He knows how to help you in due time. Giving up is not the best option for your child. By God’s grace, you will manage.
