Students Recommended for Scholarships

The principal and administration of the Kyaithani Secondary School has presented us with the following list of students that they are recommending be provided with the first scholarships from our scholarship program.  It is very hard to read the reasons for these recommendations and know that there are many more students at the school that also have similar situations.

Kimali, the principal, advises that all these students are very disciplined and industrious and perform well in class.  He says "we are optimistic that the Scholarship Program will give the students the provisions, confidence and impetus to fully exploit their academic potential for personal and social development in the future.  Once again, thanks for making the scholarship program dream come true".

We hope that our program will make a real difference in the lives of these students and that our base of donors to the program will grow so that we will not only be able to provide funding to these students next year, but also provide scholarships for more needy students in this school.

Here is a photo of the 9 students.  From left to right they are:
