Hello,

May this find you well!

It is an honor for me to be the first student to write a blog. My blog is about the importance of the Bridge Scholarship's work here in Haiti, and how I am taking advantage of some classes that I am currently taking.

Nelson Mandela stated: “Education is the most powerful weapon we can use to change the world.” The Bridge Scholarship Program is doing a great work in Haiti by giving young adults the opportunity to further their education which will help them change their life situations. There is a popular saying: “the children of today will be the adults of tomorrow." It is also commonly said that “young adults are the future of their country as they are called to be businessmen, pastors, presidents, prime ministers, and so on.” The Bridge Scholarship Program believes in a better Haiti by helping young adults with their education. I am blessed to be a recipient of this fabulous scholarship, and I know that through my education, I will accomplish great things.

The main subjects of studies that I am currently taking are: electricity, electronics and mechanics. The electricity class lasts 120 hours, and after successfully passing the class, I will be able to fix outlets and so on. I am very excited to learn new things. The Bridge Scholarship Program is also working on our personalities by giving us guidance that will serve us in our professional careers.

Through the help of the Bridge Scholarship Program in the young adults' higher education, I believe in a better Haiti. I am very glad to be a part of this great family!  I love the Bridge Scholarship Program, and I love Haiti!

Thank you!
