105 Scholarships granted by Faiszer Musthapha Foundation to empower students

22 July, 2018

The Faiszer Musthapha Foundation granted scholarships to 105 students through the “Ape Daruwo” Scholarships Scheme under the Faiszer Musthapha Social Welfare Fund to mark the 49th birthday of the Minister of Provincial Council , Local Government and Sports, Faizer Musthapha, at the Duncan White Auditorium of the Sports Ministry, Colombo recently. 

Scholarships through “Ape Daruwo” were awarded to 55 children and 45 of them have qualified to enter University. The Minister said that we must give our children the opportunity. “Our children are capable. I am confident that we will be able to produce doctors and engineers from this group. All of you can conquer the world. You must have the self confidence and you should work hard and be committed. To win in our lives we should be committed,” he said.

He further said that it is difficult to get a good education by going out with friends and having a good time. “That is because there is a huge competition to enter universities. Other children are making huge efforts to win this competition and it will be necessary to be committed to succeed. While obtaining an education we should also be religious. Some parents only give children an education. Children's character is formed by religion. The only difference between humans and animals is religion,” he added.

Roshan Mahanama graced the ceremony as the guest of honour and distributed scholarships to the students.
