The Life Spring Ministries Upstate New York chapter headed by Pastor Derick Seecharran recently awarded twenty Berbice students scholarships of $20,000 each to assist with their Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC).
Dravid Seecharran, Coordinator for the Ministries scholarship programme, explained that some three years ago his family began sponsoring the CESEC fees for one student. However, he said after discussions they decided to launch the scholarship programme which will be done annual, in hopes of assisting multiple.
Seecharran shared that his mother was a high school teacher for some 24 years before the family migrated and this would have motivated their decision to support the students in Regions Six and Five.
