Opening the Path of Hope for the Future

“These scholarships mean so much to us. Receiving a scholarship brings us more joy and hope for the future. The kindness of our benefactors has planted seeds in us, allowing us to study, live better, and confidently look toward the future…” (Hong Tran – 12th Grade Student). These are the heartfelt words of gratitude from a student representing her peers, addressing the benefactors and everyone who has contributed to brightening their future, during the scholarship award ceremony for diligent students in Phan Rang.

The scholarship award ceremony took place in the afternoon of March 10, 2024. A total of 58 students received scholarships at the Phan Rang community, with 16 other students receiving them at different locations. The recipients ranged from elementary school to university students, all eligible for scholarship support. Parents of the students were also present to offer moral support and accompany them on their educational journey alongside the benefactors.

In fulfilling their mission of serving the youth, the benefactors have continuously collaborated with the sisters to participate in this shared mission, opening the path of hope for the young to confidently step into the future. The Educational Scholarship Fund has accompanied and supported these diligent students.

Becoming a Gift to Others

The dream is for the young to become a gift to others, which is a way of expressing gratitude and living a more human life. This is the dream that the benefactors, parents, and everyone hold for the younger generation. A concrete way of becoming this gift is by being a good child, studying hard, and helping one’s family, friends, and those around them.

We pray that God blesses and grants peace and joy to the benefactors, parents, and all those who have supported and journeyed with us in our mission of love and service to the youth.
