Dear Friends,
May this email find you well.
In a few days, we will welcome the new year 2025. Before we move to the new year, we would like to send you an update on our KEMBALI Scholarship program.
YKIP successfully held the scholarship distribution to 346 students in the program. We visited the children in six program areas. The scholarship distribution took place from mid-October to the second week of November. During the meeting with the students, YKIP not only distributed the transport allowances to the students but also rewarded the students with outstanding performances both academically and non-academic. In total, there are 34 students rewarded for their hard work in the previous academic year.
In addition to the distribution, YKIP managed to organize two workshops for the students in the KEMBALI Scholarship program. In the first workshop, YKIP collaborated with KISARA PKBI Provinsi Bali to share about reproductive health with the students in Pengotan Village, Bangli Regency. The second workshop was a digital literacy workshop focusing on safeguarding students from cybercrime, especially online sexual exploitation. You can see the complete report on the workshop here.
During the distribution, we also collected the students' letters. We bring you one of the student's stories:
Dear donor,
May this letter find you well. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Cantika and I am in grade 12. I got a sponsorship from Riot Games, through the partnership with GlobalGiving. I am happy to get this sponsorship because it is allow me to studying without worrying about the school fees that burden my parents.
I was the second-best in my class when I was in grade 11. Besides learning at school, I like doing arts. I like drawing, singing, and playing traditional musical instruments. I learned to play a musical instrument called Rindik, and now I can play several traditional songs using the Rindik.
Last semester, I entered a singing competition at school. I hesitated at first, but my friends encouraged me to compete. I was really nervous but I managed to finish my song. To my surprise, I become a runner up. I was really happy and grateful.
After finishing high school, I would like to continue my education at university. I have always been fascinated by my teachers. The way they explain and teach their students inspires me to be a teacher in the future. I hope i could enter university and get a scholarship to make my dreams come true.
Thank you so much for supporting my education in senior high school and taking me a step closer to reaching my dream. Please wish me luck.
May God bless you with health and happiness.
Santika
Last but not least, YKIP wishes you a Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year 2025.
Thank you,
YKIP Team
P.S: Santika's letter was edited for a better clarity
