LETTER OF MOTIVATION AND CAREER OBJECTIVES

Working to improve children health and well-being particularly in poor communities is my great interest shaping my work/research background and future vision. Seeing healthy, happy and well developing children is a great satisfaction to me and it reflects fulfillment of a basic human right to them. In order to perform better in this field, my desire has been to do a masters degree which exposes me to multicultural experiences and multidisciplinary perspectives on current and emerging global health problems, on skills to analyse global health problems and on designing, implementing and evaluating health interventions, thanks that the  x satisfies that desire and even beyond relative to other such programmes.

In addition, specific motivations of this programme are: First, it takes a short time; one-year permitting to return soon and apply the expertise gained and rejoin my family. Second, it is taught in English Language which I am proficient. Third, excellent study content and structure particularly Child Health which is my area of interest provided by  very competent and most renowned institutions networked across Europe and so an added benefit for me to see much of Europe which is an adventure by itself. Fourth, there is x to support students and I am eligible. More importantly, it draws participants from the international community and hence provides settings for exchange of multidisciplinary perspectives/expertise and multicultural experiences. 

World children on their own cannot decide on their health and development but it is leaders at different settings and professions who can. I am committed to be one of the true pro-children leaders. I expect to gain a lot from this study programme and thereafter utilize the expertise obtained to become a leader in researching and developing interventions to improve children health at domestic and international settings.  Upon completion and return to Tanzania, I expect to set up a community-based health promotion program to improve newborn health and survival.

With my educational background, professional experiences, personal motivation, career objectives/research interest and sound health, I commit to work industriously to excellently complete this Masters Programme if accepted. This programme is an important cornerstone towards my future ambition to do a PhD on children health.

I hope my letter/application will be considered and granted opportunity to learn in the academic year 2007-08.

Sincerely Yours,

SAMWEL ONESMO MFANGA
