Architecture student grateful for new laptop

LIKE most disadvantaged students who struggle to get an education and make daily sacrifices, any help for someone like Peter Mende is most welcome.
Mende, 23, is from a remote village in Bundi and a final-year student in architecture at the University of Technology.
His father is a subsistence farmer and his mother a teacher at Walium Primary School.
Mende said he struggled as he came from a family of seven other siblings.
“I was finding it hard doing my work from a small notebook purchased by mum earlier, especially when most of the work is of huge volume,” he said.
“The type of work we do involves autocad programmes and my small machine is not adequate to download all that.
“So I put in my request to my MP, Anton Yagama, to buy a laptop for me.”
Last Friday, Yagama presented Mende with a laptop.
“I am at a loss for words as this is beyond my expectations but I am more than grateful to my MP,” Mende said.
He said plans for the future would include pursuing overseas studies for his masters and to “see the world” and then come back to the electorate and
work for it.
