I've Got a Cupboard Full of Books and an Empty Wardrobe

Image
I may appear to be present on Facebook, and a couple of other platforms, but behind the scenes, I squeeze time to blog and connect with people to mentor them on their academic paths. Some days can be draining especially when I find myself giving too much in terms of advising people on what's best for them, and how they can improve their performance, and that of their children. It can become daunting if you constantly give out without receiving. I have one passion and it involves reading and it is only when I soak myself in the depths of someone else's thoughts that I feel I have received something back. I have tried to buy more books and the other day as I looked through the cupboard in my study room, I felt as though I am in the midst of gifted individuals each waiting for me to choose them and savour their inner most secrets. When I am surrounded by books I don't have to worry about my looks When I'm surrounded by books I feel like I'm left in tenterhooks

Advice From a Young Cameroonian Top Achiever To Scholarship Seekers

Image
Last year, Jerry Awah obtained a full intergovernmental scholarship to study at the Power Engineering Institute in Russia through Beveen Mentoring and Scholarship Programme . The scholarship is offered through a partnership between the Cameroonian and the Russian governments. These governmental scholarships offered to brilliant students go a long way to strengthen the bonds between governments and most crucially, send a message to the youths in Cameroon and in other developing countries that the future is bright for brilliant students regardless of gender, class, tribal connections, and status. I remember last year, when I heard from my neighbour that Jerry had scored 5 A grades at the GCE advance level, I was ecstatic and called him up to introduce myself as a mentor for those seeking scholarships and urged him to find a scholarship. I must have called him a couple of times not to settle for anything little. In my view, he deserved the best not just based on his academic performance

2016 Scholarship Programmes in Audio

Hello friends, Please listen to scholarship opportunities on the go. Be updated on opportunities on the go!

Secure Some Funds for Uni

Today, I want to grasp this opportunity to welcome new members into this audio cast platform on WhatsApp. Thank you so much for choosing Beveen Mentoring and Scholarship Programme to lead you to achieve academic ideals. You’ve made a fantastic choice-bravo to you! Today, I am going to talk about the need to find a school which offers some funding to you, and maybe substantial funding for you to pursue your education. Most often, some of us just want to migrate to Western countries probably because we have siblings in these developed nations whom we tend to look up to with our interpretation of their pictures, big houses, and flashy cars as symbolic of wealth. But most times, some of the things you see are "flash"-a show off hidden with huge psychological and financial struggles. If you see a photo of someone standing in front of a storey-building in the USA, it does not necessarily mean that the entire building is their house. I have come across cases in Europe where mor
