  1. I do thank the late president Nyerere for the opportunity to attend nursing school and become a nurse. If it wasn't for his free education I would have not been who I am today. I didn't have to pay school fees nor accomodation fees while attending nursing school. Everything was FREE FREE FREE for this I say THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND MAY YOU REST IN PEACE! Your memories will live on.
