Feedback from scholars appreciated
Let me congratulate you and the scholars of MIFwho gave feedback not only saying thanks for the scholarships they received but how such scholarships helped them in their getting better education and futurre in life.
For example, "Lala" Prudencio´s plan on how to put an LPG retaling business is a good one because it shows that the scholars are not only concerned about their personal welfare but also that of others and do things which has economic, socio-cultural impact to the community.
And this jibes in with the project of our post graduate scholar at Lyceum of the Philippines University who helped establish and operate a small lending organization to help his neighborhood have source of income or means to save money. I refer to Frederick our scholar at Lyceum of the Philippines School for International Studies and now working with the DFA.
What I am driving at is those who are supporting scholarship funds or programs are happy not only to read the names of scholars, but also read feedbacks from them.
By the way, thanks for giving space at MIF website to my short piece on Rizal - a simple reminder of a man who cares not for himself but for others and willing to sacrifice his life and personal welfare in helping others.
Congratulations to all the scholars of MIF and thanks to all those kind-hearted souls who keep on supporting the MIF scholarship programs or projects.
According to Rizal, the best way to earn and deserve freedom is proper education. And this recalls to mind what he said: "What is the use of independence when the slaves of today shall be the tyrants of tomorrow?"
The United States is a great country because of good education provided to the people. Our OFW´s succeed in life wherever they may be because of good education earned by them and because of the respective sacrifices of their parents, brothers and sisters.
Sincerely yours,
Rudy
