The Jaime Kim Scholarship provides support for exceptional female students in their post-secondary education: teacher-training, nursing school, medical school, career-training or university education.
Today, I had the great opportunity to visit the young women we’ve supported through the Jaime Kim Memorial Scholarship. Sonam, Saloni and Angel are now second-year nursing students at Mure Memorial Nursing College in Nagpur and will take their first Board exams in November. I met the Director of the Nursing College who took us on a tour of the hostel and the mess hall. The scholarships we’ve provided fund their housing and food, as well as school fees and supplies. We are proud of all they’ve accomplished and we are grateful to those who’ve donated through the Jaime Kim Memorial Scholarship Fund.
Ms. Sonam Kasdekar
Sonam, a graduate of Panchsheel Ashram School, finished her first year of nursing school at Mure Memorial School of Nursing in Nagpur and has started her second year. She is dedicated to her family and would like to become a nurse to help provide a better life for them. Friends of Padhar Schools’ Jaime Kim Scholarship has provided a scholarship for the first and second years of Nursing School for Sonam.
Ms. Saloni Ingle
Saloni, also a graduate of Panchsheel Ashram School, has finished her first year of nursing school at Mure Memorial School of Nursing in Nagpur and has started her second year. Saloni’s childhood dream was to become a nurse, but when her parents died and she was left to provide for her younger siblings, she thought it was just a dream. Friends of Padhar Schools’ Jaime Kim Scholarship has provided a scholarship for the first and second years of Nursing School for Saloni.
Ms. Angel Chauhan
Angel, another recent graduate of Panchsheel Ashram School, has finished her first year of nursing school at Mure Memorial School of Nursing in Nagpur and has started her second year. Angel is a bright student, but being from a poor village her educational options are limited. Her hard-working family provides enough to manage the family needs, but not the fees for education. Friends of Padhar Schools’ Jaime Kim Scholarship has provided a scholarship for the first and second years of Nursing School for Angel.
