Congratulations, Dr. Hope!

We were privileged on Saturday to be invited by one of our friends to attend the graduation of the medical school of Debrecen University. Hope Nkeiru is a wonderful, godly young lady we met at the International Church (The House) when we first came to Debrecen. 

The graduation was held in the ceremonial court of the main building of the university.  There was room on the main floor for the faculty, graduates, and a few family members.  Everyone else stood around the courtyard and watched from the stairs and upper corridors, or they sat and watched by video feed in another room on the second floor.

Hope is from Nigeria and was among the graduates who took classes offered in English. Debrecen University's medical school is highly respected and many students from Europe, Africa and Asia study here.  When the students received their diplomas, they shook hands with each of the dignitaries at the table on the platform and then bowed to the faculty members seated to the left.  The ceremony was in both Hungarian and English.

Hope's family was represented by her uncle, also a medical doctor, who lives and practices in England.

 Congratulations, Hope!  What a huge accomplishment!  May God continue to bless and guide you!
