Maria Faquaharson

Teaching children has always been a great passion of mine. Throughout my 30 years of missionary service, I have always been involved in teaching in some form or another. My children have graduated from high school and my desire now is to teach underprivileged children and young people in third-world countries. My goal specifically is to teach children from primary school until they complete high-school and have a future in their career and academic life. Read more about Maria Faquaharson

Thank you Activated Ministries for this opportunity to make a dream reality! My family and I are ecstatic and are incredibly grateful to know that I have been granted this scholarship; learning new languages and about new cultures is something I have always enjoyed. Now with this opportunity to become a translator I have been given wings to expand in my field or interest and hope to use this as a tool to help others. God bless you for giving me this opportunity!

Cherith Kuhn

Thank you so much for the scholarship! Receiving this grant makes it possible to continue in school through the hard financial times. This funding makes the extra time I spend outside of school doing homework worth the effort and time it takes. I will be graduating with my associates in Early Childhood Education at the end of this semester and going on to the Bachelors program. I know I would not have gotten this far without support. Thanks again! Read more about Cherith Kuhn
