Dan here, I grew up in Kiambu, Kenya. I have really come a long way to get to where i am right now. I passed my High school education, applied for a Degree in Medicine. As i expected, i received my invitation letter but due to the humble nature of my background, i could not afford the university fees requested. I applied to other universities and the story was the same, so i had to look for an alternative, still in the medical field since i still had my younger brother in mind (we are 2). I received alot of sentiments to reapply for nursing but inside me, i knew i'd get hurt working next to a doc, haha. After attending several career days, i had made~up my mind to study Medical Laboratory Science... December 12, 2014, will be the 3rd full year since i graduated. My first year after graduation, i worked as an NGO volunteer where i also received certificates.
Sometimes lack of financial support is usually a backbreaker / setback but it will Never kill my dreams.. My med invitation letter still stands / still viable.
Lately, i set up my own lab with the money i saved last year.
I'm also breeding German Shepherd Dogs (Registered) and currently i have 2 High Pedigree females. 1st female is now 2¾yrs and is 'breeding' active also trained on personal protection. and the other is an import just 8 months old. Pedigree dogs have good returns annually. 1Gsd puppy usually goes for around $619 - $890 but if the puppy is imported (in the case of an imported pregnant bitch), it would fetch $1300+ per pup depending on the linage, show or working qualities..
Right now, i get $350 from the lab but its still new. I also have very high hopes on these dogs. A while ago i took the big female for mating and this would have been her 2nd litter unfortunately, she didn't conceive :'( . In 2013 under her owner by then, she whelped 12 healthy puppies.
I'd honestly want to expand this pedigree dog business because i know they can raise the university fees required for my medicine degree..
Dear lenders, I'm much grateful for your support, thanks to you, I've managed to add two dogs to my breeding stock.
This time round, I'd love to turn around things a bit. I so much love to 'sit down' with a pen, do all calculations concerning my expenditure and see if there's a way i could actually minimize my expenses.
Right now, each dog feeds on 0.5kg brown rice + 0.5kg minced meat + 0.5 kg chicken heads.
0.5kg brown dog rice = $0.43
0.5kg minced meat = $ 0.64
0.5kg chicken heads = $ 0.54
The rice is cooked with minced meat but the chicken heads are fed raw. This amounts to $1.61 + cooking expenses.
On the other hand comes the premium dog food. 1 bag 'Bewi or Dogland' of Kgs12.5 & 15 respectively costs $35 here in Kenya. 5 - 10 Bags will grant you a $6 discount per bag.
Feeding recommendations for a dog between 25 - 50kgs are 400gms per day (http://dogland-nutrition.com/).
That means 1bag 15000gms ÷ 400gms/day = 37.5 days (1Month, 1week). To establish the amount i'l be spending per day, $29(cost p/bag) ÷ 37.5(No. of days) = $0.77 per day. In total, i will have saved $1.61 - 0.77 = $0.84 per dog per day. This is alot of money i could save especially bearing in mind that my monthly lunch budget is $16.25 haha :D
This loan of $375 will be spent as follows
10 bags of Bewi / dogland feed @ $29 =290
Transport 'hire' $38 &
$47 will clear a small outstanding balance of a new kennel i recently built.
Dear lenders, if i accomplish this, i will have a peace of mind for the next 3mnths concerning what these dogs will have @meal time. Its the rainy season here and blackouts are imminent which means anything perishable in the freezer automatically starts to go bad. Kindly help me achieve this so that i can have time to concentrate at the Lab and this loan.
I honestly don't believe it'll take me 7months to clear this loan. Its only that I'd not want to reschedule and just as my previous loans, i usually clear way ahead of time specified.. :) :)
Thank y'll in advance..
