We have good news for you this summer. Our girls started to graduate from university. They are now ready to for life and stand on their own feet. Actually, there's no need to extend the word, let's give the floor to them.
Here is the first one ;
"The best part of my college graduation day was, of course, that moment when I finally got that diploma I've spent all those late night studies working toward. But before I tossed my cap up in the air, I thought I am one of the lucky ones and I can never forget that I did not get where I am today all of my own. Just after graduation ceremony, I have started to work for global banking market, as a part of an international financial company.
I got here today because of so many people, my family, my friends, people who volunteer for Buldan Foundation who may never dreamed of getting a college education by themselves but who worked, and supported so that I could be here today. I owe this to them. Now, it is my turn to have the responsibility to ensure the empowerment of women, because that's the point of getting an education in the first place. -"Use your privilege to help others." as Hillary Clinton says.
Now, Buldan Foundation supports university education of 31 young girls with your donations and I truly believe that this number will not be enough.
Once again I thank you all and wish that you will keep using your privileges to help others.
Kind regards,
“A Graduate "
We wish them all good luck for life and thank you for your support to our project " Education is Power".
Regards,
Buldan Foundation
