Tinshu wins lone scholarship for GSBI 2006

The GSBI is ending today and we have all been invited to the closing dinner offered by the University. University professors and staff of the GSBI and friends are present. The atmosphere is quite relaxed and everyone is feeling free going to the table for their food. The food is truly American and truly delicious.Genesis shakes hands with Prof. Jim

Everyone now seems to have finished up with food. Prof. Jim, one of the major GSBI staff is up and has started awarding certificates and gifts to the Social Entrepreneurs. The award session is punctuated by much clapping as names of ‘Social Entrepreneurs’ are called. The session is over and each Social Entrepreneur now has a certificate of participation and a glass shield containing a group photo of the Social Entrepreneurs and the GSBI faculty. Jim is still standing up as though he still has some else to say.

Then he begins: Dear friends, you for the past few years, we have been trying to establish a scholarship fund for the GSBI have not been successful. However, this year, we were able to get ONE scholarship for the GSBI and we have decided to award it to TINSHU GEMUH of Helps International, Cameroon. The scholarship will help him pay his flight from Cameroon to Santa Clara and back.

The whole hall is cheering and one can read surprises on many faces. Tinshu stands up to go have a hand shake with Jim and he is completely overwhelmed with surprise as well as he never expected such an award.
