As Zumana graduates and transitions into his new accounting position, through the generosity of Dennis Webb of Webb Accountancy, another student has the opportunity to begin university.

Dennis and his wife Ronda let us know tht they would like to offer a scholarship to a female student interested in entering the accounting field.

Word was put out and Hope International alumni students applied. Through the application and interview process, the staff and alumni students selected Siatta Kanneh, who graduated from Hope International in 2017 and will begin university this month. While attending Hope International she lived with her aunt and 10 other family members. Her father had passed away and her mother is a seller that lives away. Siatta works to support the entire family and she has been doing all she can to ease the family's struggles.

"I am so excited for getting this scholarship because it has been my wish to have such an opportunity to further my education. This opportunity is timely and I am really excited that I will be able to go back to school. It is going to change my life and will make me an important person in the future because I know after my graduation I will be able to work and earn money.

Studying accounting has been my dream...I am strongly motivated by the support of The Hope Project. It is a wonderful opportunity for me. Whenever I face challenges during my studies, the generosity of my sponsor will be a course of inspiration for me to keep on my dream of being an accountant.

I want to say a big thank you to my sponsor, the teachers of Hope International and The Hope Project. I will make you all proud."

We are all standing behind you Siatta as you chase your dreams.
