Every one of us is fine here and wish good health to every one of you there. First of all I would like to express my gratefulness to you and your organization. Your help not only has helped in my financial weakness but also has helped in building my confidence and raising awareness within myself. I succeeded in getting through my grade-XI exams and the credit goes to your organization. If I had not been given this opportunity to scholarship I don’t know where I would have landed up. I would have been forced to leave my studies incomplete and would be blaming destiny for all it had done to me like other girls I see do. Courage and self-confidence is the utmost requirement and is the greatest to survive in this world and I thank you for building this within me.
I live in a village named ‘Sanopalati.’ Our village is surrounded by hills, cliffs, and green forests and jungles. Although, the village looks delightful and pleasant outwardly, inwardly it is not pleasant at all. On the basis of religious, social and ethical view the social evils like discriminating a girl from a boy still prevails in our village.
You have provided me with the scholarship and have aroused courage and self-confidence to complete my studies with me. I thank you for making me trust in myself and making me believe that I can also be a worth citizen of this nation. I promise to make this help of yours fruitful, I shall work in my village and places like my village where no facilities are available and where the light of education has not been lit and the villagers are ignorant. I want to serve these innocent people. I would like to thank you and express my gratefulness once again for your help.
Yours truly,
