My name is Channé Altun (24), I am trying to raise funds to complete my studies. I was able to study physiotherapy in the Netherlands in 2018-2019. I completed my first year of studies with a 76% average and the maximum amount of credits.
However financial circumstances influenced my ability to continue my studies. My father, who was our family's main source of income, was retrenched.
Additionally, COVID-19 soon followed, exasperating the situation. We lost our home,
vehicle and were forced to move rurally to a house without any form of electricity.
I have tried my best to continue my studies in South Africa. I have unfortunately had no success in the admission process and was denied the ability to study physiotherapy in South Africa.
After multiple unsuccessful applications to study in South Africa, I took a big leap of faith and applied to universities in the Netherlands. I never thought I would be able to return to complete my studies in the Netherlands as our financial situation would never allow it. But God makes a way. Compared to a unsuccessful and difficult journey to study in South Africa, my journey to study in the Netherlands was a great success from the start. I was accepted to study physiotherapy at 4 different universities in the Netherlands and I am able to pick up where I left off in my second year.
I have until September 2024 to raise enough funds to continue my studies. Any donation would be greatly appreciated. Being able to study would change my life forever and even the smallest donation would make a big difference.
