Yayasan Goodwill International

 

University Scholarships for future Indonesian leaders

Message from the Chairman, Mrs Mizue Hara

 

The Chinese character for "person" is a pictograph of two people are leaning against each other, showing that the people who created this word in the dawn of history thought that human-beings could stand when supporting each other -- "trust."

"Trust " is the most valuable element in our lives.

For our students, it is vital they develop trust between themselves and their sponsor, between them and the Yayasan, and among and for themselves. 

We should remember that trust is very fragile, and it may be broken easily if one does some little thing wrong.  No matter how hard one tries afterwards, one may never fully regain that person's trust. 

Over the last five years, I believe that the Goodwill International Scholarship students have established relationships built on high levels of trust with their sponsors.  It is my hope that all our students again continue their hard work, and preserve Yayasan Goodwill International's tradition and reputation. 

There are many incredible challenges and obstacles lying everywhere in life, but since our students have overcome one of the biggest challenges already in being accepted to a university and winning a scholarship, I feel sure they can tackle all the others that will arise with equal energy, determination and confidence. 

I wish all our students and sponsors the best in the next twelve months.
