Being awarded the bursary has drastically changed my life for the better and has again given me a sense of direction in my career field. I have gained my confidence back and my go getter spirit, and tenacity has been refuelled, and it's at the peak. It has been years of me wanting to go back to school and all my attempts were in vain, until I came across the Fanaka Foundation Bursary application, now my life has changed for the better.
I feel so happy, the financial assistance you provided will be of great help to me in paying my educational expenses, and it will allow me to concentrate more of my time on studying and fulfil all my dreams in life.
Thank you again for your generosity and support. I promise you I will work very hard and eventually give back to others, possibly a bursary to future students like myself.
It changed my life. I'm very excited to be staying .. thanks for everything
