Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>A South Sudanese student was handed a certificate and a prize at the East African Heads of State Summit for being among the winners of the 2022 EAC Essay Writing Competition.<\/p>\n

18-year-old Lalum Joselyn Oluku, who sat for the 2022\/2023 South Sudan Certificate of Secondary Education at Saint Daniel Comboni in Juba, and currently hopes to join college soon.<\/p>\n

While in Senior Three, she made her first attempt and participated in the regional essay completion but not succeed.<\/p>\n

However, Joselyn gave it a second shot in 2022 when she emerged among six winners in an English Essay writing competition.<\/p>\n

She has earned herself a certificate and some 550 US dollars that were handed to her by President Salva Kiir who took over the chairman of the East African Community on Friday.<\/p>\n

When asked about how she felt winning the prize, Joselyn said she was privileged to receive the award during Friday\u2019s heads of state summit in Arusha, Tanzania.<\/p>\n

Joslyn described the weekend\u2019s occasion as a life-changing experience for her.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am privileged than honored to be here today, taking part in the essay in the EAC written competition. It was a life-changing experience,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a goal I look forward to because in 2021, I participated but I didn\u2019t make through, so 2022 I participated and this time I made through, and I am so happy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I can tell the other South Sudanese outside there is, you just need to believe in yourselves, when such an opportunity just comes, grab them with both hands don\u2019t shy away.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBelieve in yourselves, work hard on it and you will make it and you will make it. Because I couldn\u2019t believe that I could do this but am so happy and I am glad that I managed to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The other winners are,<\/b> Astin Alego Angoya from Kenya, Idrisa Musa Hamadi, Tanzania, Irakoze Sonia from Rwanda, Amuron Evelyne from Uganda, and Irimpuhwe Alda from Burundi.<\/p>\n

Dr Congo is the only member state that did not participate in the annual EAC essay writing competition last year.<\/p>\n

The competition is intended to promote among East African Community secondary school students a better understanding and appreciation of the issues relating to the regional integration of East Africa.<\/p>\n
