Rising Star Highlight: Karma

By Suzana Salim | Project Leader

Karma is a young woman who has benefited from Wedu funding thanks to your help. This is her story:

“I was born in Thimphu, the capital city of a small country called Bhutan. I studied in Bhutan until year 12 which I completed in 2015 living with my parents. Then In 2016, I started a big venture in my life, which was going to Australia with a big aspiration to become a doctor so that someday I can help all the people regardless of where they come from and what their ethnicity is.

I started off with the diploma in nursing from an institute called Institute of Health and Nursing Australia in Sydney which was for 2 years. Then in February 2019, I continued with a Bachelor of Nursing degree in a university called the University of Technology Sydney from where I intend to graduate in December 2020.

As a Rising Star, I hope I can learn a lot of new things from the global mentorship program and help the people who are in need with my nursing knowledge, alongside the guidance from my mentor. I believe I can become a doctor one day with the support I have from people around me as well as Wedu.

Wedu’s funding will mainly help me pay off my tuition fees and cover my living expenses throughout the year until I graduate. Without Wedu, I would not be able to pursue my dreams and my career like today.”

We want to send our deepest gratitude to you for supporting this effect and helping us by donating to the Sujata Baskota Honor Scholarship. Your contribution directly supports women like Pooja by allowing them to focus on their studies and follow their dreams to create positive social change. Thanks to you we have been able to raise a total of $5,500 in online donations to contribute towards funding for higher education, an amount that can provide financial support to more Rising Stars this year than ever before. Thank you again so much for your donation and we look forward to sending more exciting Rising Star updates and achievements in the coming months.

Thank you for helping our Rising Stars keep rising!

With gratitude,

Rising Star Highlight: Pooja

By Suzana Salim | Project Leader

Pooja is a young woman who has benefited from a Wedu scholarship thanks to your help. This is her story:

I am Pooja from Nepal and currently, I have just finished my master's degree at the University of Sussex, UK. In 2018, I graduated from Asian University for Women with Politics, Philosophy and Economics degree in Bangladesh. I was actively involved in media and films. Therefore, I chose to study Media Practice for Development and Social Change as my master's degree in order to understand the media representations of minority groups and how to create positive digital representations of minorities.

During my masters, I have co-produced two short documentaries and currently, I am working on a photography project for my dissertation. In my free time, I like to create unique photographic concepts and make short films. I plan to work in a creative industry where I can tell untold stories of women and other minority groups.

I have been Wedu rising star since 2015 and I have been blessed with amazing mentors with whom I still keep in touch. Wedu mentorship creates a lifelong friendship that I am truly grateful for. I am glad that Wedu provided me with opportunities to be impacted by two brilliant mentors from different parts of the world.

Wedu's funding has helped me immensely to survive in the UK while I focus on my studies without worrying about financial issues. I have finished my Masters with Merit and I am so glad that Wedu helped to ease my financial burden.”

Rising Star Highlight: Mahim

By Suzana Salim | Project Leader

Mahim is a young woman who has benefited from a Wedu scholarship thanks to your help. This is her story:

"I am Mahim and I belong to a small village in Bangladesh.

It is not easy for a girl in our area to continue her higher studies. As I belong to a large family including my 6 sisters, the situation was more difficult for me. But I always wanted to continue my study and complete my higher education. The path was not easy for me. But through my passion & hard work I always tried to make this path easier because I heartily believed the quote by Paulo Coelho “When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it”. This belief helped me to continue my higher education. In 2015, I started my undergraduate degree at Asian University for Women (AUW) on Public Health with a full scholarship. Besides my studies, I am working as a peer tutor at the Science and Math Centre and I have also been working as a teaching assistant at AUW for one year.

It is my passion to work in public services and to do social work. I have worked for several organizations in the past. I have been volunteering at an organization in Bangladesh (Ukhiya, Cox’s Bazar) since 2017 for disseminating menstrual hygiene related information to school-going boys & girls. I always like to explore my knowledge and engage myself more with public services. In the future, I would like to work in the epidemiological field.

I became a Wedu Rising Star around early 2018, and since then I have gotten many opportunities to enhance my leadership skills. I have received leadership training, mentorship and most recent funding for my exchange semester at Yonsei University in South Korea. Without Wedu, I would not have been able to come this far.”

We want to send our deepest gratitude to you for supporting this effect and helping us by donating to the Sujata Baskota Honor Scholarship. Your contribution directly supports women like Nak by allowing them to focus on their studies and follow their dreams to create positive social change. Thanks to you we have been able to raise a total of $5,500 in online donations to contribute towards scholarships, an amount that can provide financial support to more Rising Stars this year than ever before. Thank you again so much for your donation and we look forward to sending more exciting Rising Star updates and achievements in the coming months.
