Our first group of scholarship recipients is about to graduate from high school, and we recently had the privilege of listening to their inspiring stories. We heard stories of how our School for Life scholarships have rippled through their lives, and we were humbled by the impact we have made. Samkhan, one of our scholarship children, was just 13 years old when he embarked on his journey with us. Growing up in a family of six, with his father a farmer and his mother a fish seller, Samkhan knew the struggle of poverty. Yet, with our support, Samkhan discovered the magic of education and shared, “Being a student who used to be lazy in studying, I now study harder. I can also take extra after-school classes like the other students, with the support of PeopleStories.”
Our founder, Victoria, established the School for Life scholarship with a powerful vision: “Education is power! Without education, it is very hard to get out of the poverty cycle. PeopleStories is about empowerment and we hope to enable these children to complete school and ultimately uplift themselves from their poverty cycle.” Channa, another scholarship child, shares this vision. She lives with her grandmother for most of her growing up years as her parents have moved far away for work. Channa has four siblings, and without our scholarship, education would have been a distant dream.
We are honored to witness the transformation of these children, to see their dreams take flight, and to know that we have played a small role in their journey. We congratulate all the children graduating from high school this year and encourage them to continue dreaming big.
To our cherished supporters, we extend our deepest gratitude. Your generosity has made a difference, and we invite you to continue to weave spells of change with us. Together, we can empower more children to complete their education and transform their lives.
