We recently learned that one of our scholarship students, Birmania, is taking a break from her studies to start a family in Nueva Segovia. While of course we would love to see Birmania complete her studies, we also want to wish her well as she starts this exciting new life stage!
Birmania had been receiving a partial SNEF scholarship to attend nursing school on the weekends. She has been very successful, doing an internship in Esteli in January and getting good grades throughout her academic career.
Though she is unable to finish her nursing degree now, we want to keep open the possibility for Birmania to re-apply for a scholarship in a year or two if she feels able to return to her studies at that point. In the mean time, we wish her the best!
In other news, our two new scholarship students, Kenex and Guadalupe, have received laptops from the Foundation. These computers will be key in connecting them to their studies, especially at a time when so much of school is being conducted online due to the pandemic. Here they are showing off their new computers.
