Dear Friends and Supporters,
Our first project in Sri Lanka was paying for roof repairs of the girls’ dormitory building at St. Therese’s Convent and Girls Home in Elpitiya/Sri Lanka plus washing and toilet facilities adjacent to the building so the girls did not need to go outside. This was in early 2005, when the home had a long waiting list to take in girls affected by the dreadful Tsunami on December 26, 2004. Several other building projects followed, helping to minimize the suffering of children who lost parents, or whose parents lost everything due to this natural disaster. It is hard to believe that almost 20 years have passed since then.
Our first scholarship program in Sri Lanka covered 20 students in 2 different schools for the 2006 school year.
Thanks to your loyal support we have come a long way in these 20 years.
In 2025 in both Sri Lanka and Myanmar a total of
324 Students (302 girls and 22 boys)
will be on our scholarship programs in the first half of the year.
1. Sri Lanka
221 students (204 girls and 17 boys) will be on three scholarship programs in 2025. (For details, please refer to the 3rd article: ‘Scholarships Sri Lanka 2006 – 2025’ under section “Scholarships”.)
2. Myanmar
103 students (98 girls and 5 boys) are on our two programs. (For details, please refer to the 2nd article: ‘Scholarships Myanmar 2013/14 -2024/25 under section "Scholarships''.)
The very special news is that to date 234 students (209 in Sri Lanka and 25 in Myanmar)
have graduated from High School, completing their education.
Allow us to express our sincere gratitude for your financial help for the Scholarship and Christmas Programs. Each student who can attend school and each child that will receive a Christmas gift will be grateful for being in your hearts.
Please share our pride in the achievements in the past 20 years. All of you have played a vital part in this.
With great appreciation for your support.
Your Trustees of IFESCSF
