Examples of Students In Need of Sponsorship

Superinto

Superinto's cita-cita is to be a mechanical engineer.

He attended a special high school focusing on engine repair and graduated in 2016.   He is currently living in a one room flat and just barely supporting himself by repairing engines. 

Superinto wants to go to college. There is no chance for him to support a family in the future unless he gets the college education he so desperately dreams of.

Suciani

Suci is studying Broadcasting and Journalism at Interstudi College in Jakarta.  She is on a 5 year scholarship from Braeburn that pays all living and college-related expenses. 

Suci is the first woman in her family who could earn a college degree.

When she graduates, she hopes to get a job as a journalist reporting about her home island of Borneo.

Albern

Albern is Lukman and Suci’s nephew (their brother Lucas and his wife Dewi’s son). He is in elementary school at a private school in Jakarta because of donations from you.  His parents understand how important learning English is at a young age.  They are grateful he can go to a school where English is taught as part of the curriculum.  He is sweet, smart boy and eager to learn.
Antonius

Anton grew up in a rural village on the island of Borneo.  He did not have the opportunity to finish high
school there and would like to study with a tutor and then
take the HS equivalency test so he can get a better
job.  He supports his wife and two small children.
Anton is Lukman and Suci’s cousin on their mom's
side (his father is their mother’s brother).
Gagas and Cayo

Gagas and Cayo are Lukman and Suci’s nephews
who live in their village in West Borneo.  They are Santi
(Suci and Lukman’s oldest sister’s) boys.  Santi
​also has a daughter, Tia.  In order to stay in school, Santi must find a way to pay for Gagas and Cayo's tuition, uniforms and books.  A single mom, she is working very hard to give her children a good education and the opportunity for a better life.
21 ​Bamban Racang, West Kalimantan Elementary School

Grades 1-5;  approximately 200 students. 

When we asked the Headmaster what the school needed most, he said, "We need pencils and paper.  It's very hard for the children to learn without these basic tools." 

That day, we traveled to the nearest city and bought 200 composition notebooks and 200 pencils for about $60. The Headmaster and teachers were ecstatic. 

It's so easy make a big difference here.​
