In the spirit of Christmas and of thanksgiving, a number of the Metro Infanta Foundation scholars have sent thank you notes, cards, letters and even photos to their respective sponsors.
Rolando Eresmas, who graduated with a BS degree in secondary education from Mt. Carmel College of Casiguran, writes, "I would like to express my unending thanks for giving me this great opprtunity in life, in giving me scholarship."
Jessa Hertez, 4th year student at Mt. Carmel High School of Burdeos, not only thanked her sponsors, John and Joni Sanderson, but also promised to pray them. "I will always pray for you so that the Lord may givfe you both stength, good health and happiness."
Sharmaine Eranista was proud to inform her sponsors, Romy and Julie Coronacion, that she's an honor student at the Mt. Carmel School of Infanta. Sharmaine's mother, Mrs. Agnes Eranista, also wrote a thank you note to the Coronacions for their support of Sharmain.
Fenela Jane Ecleo, a 14-year old 2nd year student at St. Patrick's Academy in Dingalan wrote her sponsors, the St. Thomas More youth, that she wants to become a 'well-known athlete." And she's on her way to realizing her dream, by earning a gold medal for the long-jump event at their district and division meet in 2006 and a silver medal in 2006. She also wants to be a cartoonist or a cartographer and wants to go places to pursue her dreams. "Someday, I want to go to Tokyo, Japan, to meet a producer of well-known cartoon movies."
Sponsors were equally touched by the letters their scholars sent them. Colleen Smith, our newly elected member of the board, has supported Paymard Huerto since first year at Mt. Carmel High School in Burdeos, wrote back to us after receiving the thank you note from Maynard. "That card from "my" student really made my Christmas spirit soar! how dear! and he's so artistic."
