As part of our work with Port Vila International School (PVIS), Âé¶¹¹û¶³´«Ã½ has been sponsoring local students to complete high school. Thank you to Claire who has written this letter:

Hello, my name is Claire, and I am one of the fortunate individuals who has been able to attend Port Vila International School under a scholarship through the Open Access Sponsorship.

I am sincerely grateful that you have been able to provide for me three years of education at such a high standard school in Vanuatu. I have attended PVIS under your sponsorship since 2020, and I am currently in year 11. Compared to my previous school in Vanuatu, PVIS is a more diverse and extremely close-knit community where students come from different ethnic and cultural backgrounds. I find this as a wonderful trait in the school because it allows me to work and interact with people from different places and learn more about them and their culture, considering that I live in such an isolated place in the world.

I am fortunate enough that I can still attend school and interact with others despite the world being in a pandemic. PVIS allows us to still have a ‘normal’ school life and I am fortunate enough that I can take advantage of the subjects they offer here. I have taken an interest in Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Math Methods, General English and Research Project, and I have been doing well in them so far this year. PVIS has provided me with many opportunities to learn, communicate with others and develop new skills in which I am able to apply in my future career. My future aspirations involve studying Bio-medicine, environmental science or humanitarian aid in which I can use to help communities in Vanuatu. I really want to be of benefit to Vanuatu in any way possible, and I believe by attending PVIS and being open minded, I can achieve that.

With your generous help, I am able to attend an amazing school and aspire me to help my community.
