2025
My name is Juma Jaime Taimo, a first-year General Medicine student at the Catholic University of Moçambique.
I would like to express my deep gratitude for the support and dedication of the doctors, as well as for the work of Doctors for Mozambique (DFM) and APESMO. I am extremely thankful for the opportunity to study medicine and I am dedicating myself fully to make the most of this experience. The preparatory year was fundamental for my preparation and allowed me to develop essential skills for the course. I started the first term of my first year with enthusiasm and am gradually adapting to the new study methods. I am sure that, by the end of this block, I will have acquired valuable knowledge and experiences.
I am immensely grateful to the doctors, especially Dr. Gitta and Dr. Harrie, for the support they have provided us.
Yours sincerely,
Juma Jaime Taimo.
2024
I’m Juma Jamie Taimo, I was born on October 19, 2005, in Vanduzi district, Manica province.
I live with my mother and my brother who precedes me. My parents have been separated since 2011 before I started school. I grew up with my mother and when I started studying she had difficulties, she was unable to help me with school needs, but she was struggling and with small expenses that my father made, she was able to keep me studying until in 2014 when I was doing the 3rd class I was welcomed by the “THE BIG HAND” project that helped me a lot in school with school needs and others, from elementary school to high school. So I thank God for doing these wonder things in my life. So I finished high school with significant pedagogical success.
I start by thanking all members of DFM for having brought me this opportunity to study General Medicine, this year is the beginning, the propedeutic year.
