Thank you for the great work. I hope my passion for writing will be ignited here. I took my time learning how to write. But to me writing never paid me. I am still search for that opportunity.

I am Mashell Chapeyama, 48 years old. I live in Zimbabwe, Africa. I studied up to college diploma, then proceeded for my degree program.

I grew up in a very poor family but I struggled all the way up. I wish to congratulate University of the People founder, Shai Reshef, for affording me the opportunity to fight poverty and desperation. Thumps up. For you all out there, I wish to encourage you to help spreading the word about University of the People. If do not know about it yet, then search more it. It has helped helpless people of Haiti, after their disaster. Now it is helping the Syrians affected by war.

My point is simple, let us help other people of the world who are suffering to realize their dream. You may find this write up myopic. Then that could be sad. I have seen many people in my country dying of hunger, when the rest of the people have plenty to waste. 

Let me go on with my story. I am excited to join this forum, this community, this platform that I wish to see transforming people's lives. I am touched by the lives of suffering people, because I am a product of poverty, suffering and pain.

I need more information on how this works. Why not create a platform for the newbies to learn. May be I have not across such as existing forum here. Then please guide me.

Thank you all that have so far appreciated me.
