My name is Legesse Begashaw, and I am an Ethiopian PhD researcher in groundwater engineering and management at Addis Ababa University. I am seeking a research fellowship or scholarship opportunity to advance my studies. My research progress is currently hindered by limited access to laboratory facilities for isotope and water chemistry analysis. Furthermore, I require training and short courses at a university to enhance my skills in these areas. I kindly request your support to help me overcome these challenges and successfully continue my research. Thank you for your consideration." Let me know if this works for you!
