Dear Friends,
We are thrilled to present this project report to you.
The academic year 2025-2026 has just ended. We are happy to inform you that 95 students of our KEMBALI Scholarship program graduated from senior high school. With this addition, the total number of graduates of the KEMBALI Scholarship Program since we began the program is 1,009.
We forward one of the graduates letter to you. Meika is one of the sponsored students from Ubud, who had been sponsored since he was in elementary school. Here is what he wrote:
Dear donors,
I would like to express my deepest gratitude for all the support and assistance you gave me. Because of your support, I can continue my education with enthusiasm and hope for a better future. The scholarship is beyond the financial support for my family and me; it is a source of motivation to pursue a better future.
I got the scholarship when I was in elementary school, and since then, the support I received has boosted my confidence to keep learning and improving myself. Through my journey, I faced so many challenges and difficulties, but I could overcome them. The support you provided lifted the burden from my parents' shoulders, which also affected my feelings. Before I got the scholarship, my mind was always thinking about whether I could continue to study in the next semester. With an unsettled mind, I could not study well.
With your support, I learned that there were many people behind my back. It motivated me to study harder and do my best at school.
Thank you so much for your kind support and for becoming an important part of my journey. I also learned that kindness and care can bring an enormous change to someone's life. You are truly my inspiration. I wish someday I could do something like you do today, helping a student to finish school.
With gratitude,
Meika
The new academic year of 2026-2027 will start next month. The total number of students to be sponsored in the new academic year will be 171, with 31 in Junior High School and the rest in Senior High School. There will be 76 students who are in grade 12 who will graduate by the end of the academic year.
Thank you again for your kind support of our KEMBALI Scholarship program.
Have a great day,
YKIP team
