 A YOUNG man is not giving up on his dream of becoming a pilot despite a major setback – he does not have enough money.
Ezekiel Krawele, 25, (pictured) and of Maprik and Yangoru ancestry and living in East Sepik is the oldest of four siblings, three boys and a girl.
He completed his schooling at Brandi Secondary in 2009, did not get an offer to go higher but pursued his dream of becoming pilot.
He started saving from 2009 to 2012 and enrolled at Allied Aviation Academy in Madang and graduated with the fundamental aspects of aviation after six months. He then wrote letters to the East Sepik provincial government and companies seeking sponsorship but did not receive a positive response.
But an opportunity opened for him when he attended the Paradise International Education Consultancy information roadshow was staged l in Lae early this month.
“I have been recommended to take up pilot training in the Philippines,” Krawele said.
“That will  be costing me over K100,000 and I do not have that kind of money.”
He said his parents had died and he had been brought up with his siblings by their aunti,
Life has always been a struggle for him but Krawele is determined not let go of his dream.
