Thank You For Your Immeasurable Kindness

Ainong is one of the many students who are able to continue their studies through the One More Year Scholarship Program. This is her letter to her sponsors.

“Greetings! I am at a loss for words to express my deep gratitude for your compassion and support. Your assistance goes beyond material help; it is an encouragement and care that touch me profoundly. It makes me truly feel the support of the wider community, beyond my own family. This motivates me to strive continuously.

I firmly believe in the saying, ‘A sharp sword is tempered in flames, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold.’ I cherish this opportunity for education and will diligently study at school, exerting myself and making the most of my free time to fill any gaps in my knowledge. I am committed to overcoming any bad habits and striving for good grades, so as not to burden my parents with worries.

We live in a rural area, where only my father works outside to support our entire family, while my mother stays at home taking care of my younger brother and my seventy-year-old grandmother. Over the past few years, my grandmother’s health has deteriorated, and she requires medication almost every day, which has added to my father’s burden.

I sincerely wish I could express my gratitude to you in person. Your kindness is immeasurable, and I can only use words to convey my respect and thanks to you. I will forever remember your kindness and study diligently, striving to contribute to society and serve my country.”
