First and foremost , I thank your office for coming up with this scholarship to help poor and deceiving deaf scholar worldwide.
well am a native special deaf trained teacher. i am currently helping many deaf pupils in my country to access education. and as to such. am keen to advance my education to university level local as I continue with the good work of educating deaf children and giving other services needed to deaf communities.
However, I hails from a poor family that is not well placed financial to support my quest for higher education. I managed to go through a 2 years teaching courses as a recipient of GLOBAL DEAF CONNECTION COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIP.
I am in need of an organization to help me fund my education at a local university. Therefore do me a favor if there is a possibility.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I’m writing to your good office to make an inquiry on the possibility of working together on partnership level to support the Youth and Women in Southern Sudan who are returning home after more than four decades of civil war which affected all the social and economic infrastructures leaving hundreds of thousands of these youth in serious socio-economic needs. This has not also augured well for the entire community who are struggling with the rebuilding of the entire security structures.
Youth for Education in Sudan (Y.E.S) a non governmental organizations working in Southern Sudan, whose aim is to empower the Southern Sudanese Youth and Women through informal and formal education programmes and leadership training initiatives.
Y. E.S is a newly formed organization and is seeking for your partnership and support to enable us implement it’s goals and objects. As a pilot project Y.E.S has identified the Youth and Women in Aweil in Northern Bahr El Ghazal State, Southern Sudan who have serious needs in attaining basic informal education and human rights that can assist them to fend for themselves and their families. Most of these Youth and Women have returned home from the neighboring countries where they had sought for refuge during the war while some other have returned from the war and have not been reintegrated into the national army of Sudan or Southern Sudan. Based on our research results these Youth and Women are not engaged in any form of employment or skill training where they can gain lifelong skill and they stand to remain security risk not only to the government of Southern Sudan but to the entire region of Eastern Africa and Africa in general. It’s upon this background that I’m proposing this project to provide skill training opportunities to 1000 such Youth and Women even as we empower them to be more knowledgeable on the rule of law, democracy, good governance and human rights.
Your intervention will be most welcome and appreciated.
Thanking you in advance
With many thanks
Yours Sincerely,
Gabriel Ken Malek
Executive Director
Youth for Education in Sudan (Y.E.S)
