Hear What Parents Say

When I was younger I did not have the opportunity to pursue my education past grade 6 since I had to help my very ill mother. I am the eldest of 6 siblings and so went to work at age 12. When I heard my son might get this scholarship, I cried tears of joy because if he gets it he will never have to suffer the lack of even basic essentials the way my family did when I was young. He knows the value of education and I know he will continue to work hard to be a role model to his siblings and to benefit his family and community.
