How did you feel when you received scholarship from Ajinomoto Foundation?

The only word I can say is that “I am very happy”. I was impressed and thankful for the generosity of the Ajinomoto Foundation to give us the opportunity and scholarships support for children in need. I feel that the foundation is my second home because of the staffs taking care of me like real family- supporting, giving advices, and encouraging me for the next fights. I always feel warm when talking to the staffs and feels that when part of the foundation wti ha very strong bond. vI met my friends from all over the country, and getting to know new friends helped me learn a lot to adjust to others, and adapting to the situation and the society. I know how tired the foundation staffs are in organizing each activity for us.

Another important aspect is that I learned to “give,” whether it’s giving with recipients, or giving inside. And I promise that I have the opportunity, I will also provide education opportunities to others, donate to others who were poor like me so that they could finish their education. Even though the donation may not be much, but I’m happy to be a giver.

What do you want to tell Ajinomoto Foundation and other future scholars?

The most important support is in education- everything from school supplies for the whole 4 years, as well as, activities and internships opportunities, support, advices, and leadership building that Ajinomoto Foundation provides. Another important point is that it really helps to reduce burden for my family and allows me to be a giver e.g. helping the professors, organizing activities, tutoring friends, etc.
