After he graduated with excellent marks and went through a six-month preparatory phase in Bissau, Ribna Fernando Dafa has started his courses at the IP Beja. In 2004 he was one of our first students. Thanks to the support of an association of former students from Bissau, Ribna could enter the Instituto Politécnico in Beja. "Tchin Tchor" has also achieved that the tuition fees have been reduced and Ribna can live in the dormitory for free. A generous donation of an US-American company will cover all further costs for the next four years.

Actually, he wanted to become an IT engineer (or politician!). From a close-up view it was social sciences. On this campus in the south of Portugal, Ribna Fernando Dafa is now tackling his Bachelor's degree.

Our director Carlos Robalo came to visit Ribna during the first semester break. Instead of flying home as planned, Ribna had decided to use the free time to improve his Portuguese and English language skills inorder to close the gap to his fellow students as soon as possible. We would like to thank everyone who helped to write this story of success!
