A new academic year: 3 new students introduce themselves

Hello dear supporters of the project,

Today I am overjoyed to write you this letter and I take the opportunity with great pleasure to thank you that you choose me to learn a profession this year.

My name is Adlene St firmin. I was born in Ile a Vache in a family of 7 children, four girls and three boys. I was born in the year 1988, being the third child on row and the second girl of the family.

My parents do not live together any more and I live with my mother. Life has not been very easy for me for I am not an intellectual genius. But I think my life will make a big turn this year thanks to the project, that offers me the chance to follow the course of patisserie and decoration.

Dear supporter, I hope that god will give you prosperity and success in your life. I don’t know how to thank the project for offering us, the youngsters from Ile a Vache this chance.

May god bless you,

Adlene

Hello!

They call me Figaro Pierre, born on the 31^st of January 1991. I am glad to have the opportunity to thank you in this special way for the initiative you took  to help the youngsters of Ile a Vache realise their dreams.

I was born in a family of 14 children, and I am the ninth of the total and the fifth son of my mother. My father passed away five years ago.

Dear madam or sir, I am very content that you choose me this year to help me realize my dreams. I am very glad that you gave me the opportunity to study book keeping/accountancy, because that is really what I love.

After finishing my studies I will return to Ile a Vache to find a job.

I want to thank you now and I want to thank you already for your generosity and your kindness,

Figaro Pierre

Dear people of the project,

I greet you in the name of the big architect of the universe. It is with great pleasure that I will present myself in this letter as one of the youngsters of Ile a Vache that will participate in this project.

They call me Jean Ubain Pierre, and I am the legitimate son of Marie France Placide and Ilaivy Pierre. I was born on August the 31^st 1993 in Ile a Vache. We are with six children in our family: one girl, the eye apple of the family and 5 boys. I am the fourth in the row of boys and the last but one of the family.

I finished my primary school and high school at the ‘Frères Sainte-Therese’ school at Ile a Vache.  I finished the last year in 2015 after which I was not able to continue to university because of insufficient economical means of our family. And now that you have established this project on behalf of the young people of Ile a Vache I will be able to continue my education this year.

I love to study business administration. Business is what fascinates me most and I love it. To turn out a success in this area there are principles and techniques you have to acquire, and that is the reason of my choice for this schooling. After finishing my studies I would like to find a job in one of the public or private institutes of Ile a Vache.

I want to thank you sincerely for the compassion you showed towards the young people of Ile a Vache. I wish that the big architect will bless you and give you health and prosperity.

I greet you with my distinguished salutations. Thank you!

Jean Ubain Pierre

And last but not least: Jean Renold wants to thank you all

Good evening, dear supporter,

I am Jean Renold Placide and I want to greet you. How are you, your health, your activities? It is with a heart full of joy that I want to thank you for the support you have given me the past years through the project of Stichting Studiehulp Kay Kok. I want to thank the coordinator of this project and the other members of the board for the functioning of this project. I don’t know how to thank you for this opportunity you offered me. Without you it would have become very difficult for me to have a profession. Before I entered this project I thought that life would become very difficult for me, because I am not so young any more and I had no profession at all. But thanks to you I am now a professional plumber. I think that with this profession I have a chance to find work and to be able to start to make my dreams come true.

Dear supporter, thank you so much for offering me this help, I will never in my whole life forget what you did for me. Don’t let yourself be discouraged in the work you are doing. I think that God will bless you for this. I hope your family will be doing well, greet the whole world from me please, thank you so much dear supporter, may God bless you,

Jean Renold Placide.

Jean Julio Placide sents all his supporters a big thank you

Hello dear supporter!

I am so glad to be able to write this letter to thank you for all you have done for me. But before I go on, I would like to ask you : how are you, how is your health and how are your activities going?

I would like to take this opportunity to greet the board of the Stichting Studiehulp Kay-Kok, that set in progress this very good initiative on behalf of the youth of Ile a Vache. For about 90% of the youngsters of Ile a Vache haven’t had the opportunity to learn a profession. So with this project of the very popular Stichting Studiehulp Kay Kok youngsters of the island are now offered this opportunity. Also myself: I was offered the opportunity to learn the profession of climatization and refrigeration. I learned a lot and now that I have my diploma I will go to find a job. I don’t know how to thank you for giving me this opportunity, dear supporter. Thanks to you I now have good expectations for the future.

Thank you so much dear supporter, you are an unforgettable person in my life,

May god bless you,

Jean Julio Placide
