They asked me from the outset what I would like to do in the future, and I said I was very interested going abroad to study.
As for voluntary work, I had a skill which I inherited from learning carpentry. My father was the owner of a carpentry business. I had something to offer and I wanted to offer it wherever I can find any group of people that accept the skill that I had. I didn’t even think I was doing it for free, because I enjoyed it.The low moments were inability to find like-minded people who like to give off their work free of charge.
When I took a good look at the house, I thought we could do it for half of the amount. Of course, it took me three weeks and I rehabilitated the house to the amazement of everybody. And from that single job, I earned enough money to complete my undergraduate and start my master’s degree programme. I didn’t have to do any other work until I got Western Regional Government Scholarship to do my PhD. That was the high point of my interest in technical education.
