struggling to find money for school fees.
Parents around the country who applied for school fee loans had
entered the draw to win a total of K10,000.

Mr Elijah said similar promotions would be held in future, and for
parents to qualify, they must submit school fee loan applications.

at least K5,000 to meet their school fees.
He thanked BSP for solving his problem, saying that the K1,000 he
just won would ease his financial burden.
He said his eldest child is attending the Divine Word University
and he needs K2,360.
The other child attends the Goroka Secondary school while another
