 The Sufra Original Development Foundation's SRDS Scholarship and Book Bursary Programme continues to have a positive impact on the lives of deserving students, enabling them to pursue their dreams of higher education. The Human Resource Officer at the Sufra Original Development Foundation, Tomansia Fasua, says the program exceeded its target and the Scholarship Committee is now in the reviewing and approval process. Right now, we are in the process of counting how many required textbooks that we need. We've finished the primary level thus far. We are continuing on counting for the secondary level. We cater to tertiary care and, well, our staff also are beneficiaries of the program. We also have a new inclusion in our Scholarship Programme, the university level. However, this program is currently running and still open for applicants. This year, we saw an increase in applicants. We have about 200 applicants in the program this year. This year, given the expansion of the program to the university level, even more individuals in the community of Sufra stood to benefit from the SRDS efforts. In addition to the Scholarship and Book Bursary Programme, the Education Committee of the SRDS Board also pioneered an Act of Giving Initiative. According to the Corporate Communications and Marketing Manager, Lovely St. Amy Joseph, the Sufra Original Development Foundation remains committed to fostering a culture of education and academic excellence in the community. Active Giving is an initiative by the SRDS which supports a diverse range of causes. Our Education Committee of the SRDS Board decided that the Act of Giving, this time around, would be focused on supporting graduation ceremonies for schools within the district. We are so happy that we could have made that financial contribution towards the schools, but we also look at it as an acknowledgement of the hard work of the students. This is a significant milestone in their lives, graduation from secondary school. It's all part of building our bonds with the community, with families, and continuing to support the aspirations of our young people. St. Amy Joseph commanded the Board for envisioning and executing the Act of Giving to schools. The District Education Officer for District 8, Joel Shalmine, says the SRDS's commitment to the education landscape is more than welcomed. The SRDF has been a sponsor of many activities and events of schools in District 8, and I will say that they have demonstrated excellent corporate social responsibility, and they have been one of our biggest supporters in terms of educational development in Sufra in particular. This current Board of SRDS, they have surpassed the ambition, they're very supportive, they show greater interest in educational development in schools in District 8, above all other boards that I have been exposed to, being a principal at Sufra Comprehensive, and being an Education Officer in District 8, and for this I would like to salute them. I love their energy, I love the passion, I love the fact that they're always given to us and they're supporting every initiative that we undertake at schools in District 8. Thank you so much. The SRDF says it will continue to invest in the education of youth in Sufra, as it has seen firsthand how powerful a tool, a proper education, can be.
