Dear Madam
It's with great pleasure that I'm writing this letter for awarding me a scholarship this year. I'm very grateful for the continued support. However, I wasn't able to join the Aga Khan University this year due to limited space. The funds you have sent I have received and have already started some studies in a College known as Kenya Institute of Management. The course is a diploma in Health Care Management. It has two semesters, first semester ends in December 2006. The second semester will end in July 2007. The mode of study is afternoon classes three days a week. This is very flexible as I have to study as I work in the Clinic.
In Kids Alive Kenya, at the Centre where I reside, we take care of children living with HIV/AIDS among others. The Centre will officially be opened in September 2006 so that it can also take care of the needs of the surrounding communities. This particular training will equip me with adequate skills to manage the health care in Kids Alive homes.

Re: Appreciation for the Scholarship Fund
I greet you in the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ. I hope you are fine and healthy under the protection of Our Lord Jesus Christ. I have seen God's hand working in my life and I thank Him for that.
This letter is to thank you for remembering me with the Scholarship Fund to enable me to continue with my studies. I'm very glad for the support you have given me, for it has enlightened my future. My God bless you greatly for your loving hearts to support the poor. I'm very thankful for the support and the love that you have given me. Thank you for enabling me to have a better future. I'm going to study diploma course in Special Education. My term will begin on August 2006 and the course ends on August 2008. I promise to work hard in my studies.

Dear Madam
I am pleased to send my sincere greetings in the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Since the time of our last communication Our Lord has been fortunate to my life and I felt to keep His trust. I have confidence in his presence all day long.
That's my hope that you are still enjoying His great mercy and kindness. Mine is to acknowledge and more so to appreciate your efforts in the scholarship you granted to me. Let me confirm that your scholarship was so timely for I will commence my Business Management Course in September 2006.

Dear Mrs. Susan Kildow
I salute you in the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ, hope you are very fine and okay as I am.
I am glad when I am taking this wonderful opportunity to thank you for the much support and concern you gave me to enable me to continue to further my studies.
The Lord be with me throughout the months in school for the certificate and also to pass my exams in a way that I will be able to continue to Diploma Course.
My aim is still serving the people and children with various disabilities and to stand for their rights to be educated, taken care of without discrimination and also to ensure that the government, parents and community can support them to enable them to earn their basic needs when they are given time to participate.
I do remember you all the time.

Dear Mrs. Susan Kildow
Re: Appreciation for the Scholarship Award
Greetings from Kenya in the Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
This is to inform you of my warm and great appreciation for the continued support you have been giving to me in the form of scholarship awards. May our dear Lord always bless you as you continue to serve Him in the Ministry that He has called you into.
The assistance has made me enlightened and currently I'm still pursuing my degree in Theology. I've been able to pursue a course in Management because I am the Program Director of Kids Alive Kenya and deal a lot with management issues. I'm also doing some courses in computer to enable me to be updated and write my thesis alone.
My family is also doing fine. My son Jude is growing fast. He likes cars. Sally is 6 and is like her Mom. She likes to help her with the chores.
I keep praying for you.
In His Service

Re: Appreciation for the Scholarship
I am so grateful to God for this chance that I have to truly thank you for offering me a scholarship award this year.
Last year I did a course in Business Management and passed with a Distinction. This year in July I started a course in Office Management. The course is taking half a year. I love it so much.
I want to take this chance to appreciate you for what you have done to me (us) in Kids Alive Kenya. You have the capacity to build us. As you know, Kids Alive Kenya organization has grown so fast. The scholarships have enabled us to be trained to meet the challenge of such growth.
I am married
to Frederick. We have two sons, Lucas 6 1/2 and
Michael 3 1/2.
I understand that during the IOKDS National Convention, you completed your term of service. Thank you so much for your service with us in this field of awarding us with scholarships. May the Lord bless you mightily.
Yours faithfully
