My name is Yonas. I’m 24 years old. I was graduated with first degree in ENGLISH language from Jimma University, one of the biggest universities in Ethiopia. I work currently under UNHCR (the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) helping in interpretation and translation services for refugees. There are tens of thousands Eritrean refugees in few different camps in Ethiopia.

My mission, however, is limited to two camps namely Shimelba and Mai Ayni camps, the biggest camps for Eritrean refugees residing in Ethiopia. Besides this, I go to the screening center for Eritrean asylum seekers called Endabaguna.

So, my over all tasks is I go to those places and help in connecting (in communication) the interviewers (experts) and the refugees.

To do this big responsibility, I always travel by car over 180 km every week (to and forth distance), as my base is Shire, the sub-office for my organization.

Before I joined UNHCR, I used to be a school teacher. I used to teach English language in secondary school and colleges. I did this job for almost two years. Except for ordinary English (that includes grammatical structure); I taught some English courses for diploma level learners. E.g. I taught “language teaching” course, “English in use I, II, III and IV”, “Class room language” and other courses.

Since my joining UNHCR, I have done my best in helping refugees in being a bridge between them and the experts/ officers.

I have been doing this humanitarian profession since May, 2008, i.e. for one year and five months now.

In those times, I’ve developed not only my profession but also I’ve gained a lot of knowledge in giving a real protection to refugees. I’ve learnt all about resettlement issues. In general, I knew all about delivering assistances for refugees.

So, dear Sir or Madam, I’ve always a keen interest to help and to give sympathy for human beings in general and refugees, in particular.

I always enjoy helping refugees as they are the ones who fled their own country for the seek of asylum. So, I think I should be given that opportunity (your scholarship opportunity) as I always work for refugees.

Moreover, I’ve an enthusiasm in knowing international law (especially refugee law). I would like to know more about it theoretically though I‘ve seen it in practice. I would like to know more about refugee laws so that I can again put it into action i.e. helping refugee as before.

My future plan prospects are that getting some knowledge about international law with the help of you and use it to help refugees around the world. So, when I mean that I would help refugees; I would give all necessary protection to them, I would work along with concerned international organizations so as to bring support for refugees, I would strive all that I can to bring improvement in the lives of refugees. I.e. to get as durable solution to them besides the daily protections given regularly.

Dear Sir or Madam, I hope so far you‘ve understood all about my interest and why I’m telling you that I need your scholarship badly.

To sum up, if you give me that opportunity I really will continue helping refugees in all my possible capacity I can. I would care and protect refugees around the world.
I would go wherever to help and to give humanitarian assistance for refugees.

“Refugees should be protected” that is my motto.

I would like to thank you for giving due attention for my application hopefully you’ll accept and give the opportunity. I’m waiting so eagerly.

Hoping to get a prompt reply from you!
Thank you in advance.
With best regards,
Yours faithfully,
Yonas.

thank you for your offer!
