Two students of the Government Technical Institute (GTI) were on Wednesday presented with bursary awards from the Gafoor Foundation, to assist with school-related expenses.

In 2016, GTI and the Gafoor Foundation signed a Memorandum of Understanding that gave students from the school a chance to benefit from an annual bursary award of $200,000 to help with school expenses.

Benefitting from the award this year are Joshua Bharat and Emani Charles, both of whom are pursuing studies in the field of building and civil engineering.
