Dear IMET2000-Pal, 

I am deeply honoured and profoundly grateful to have been awarded the $1,000 scholarship.

This generous gift is not just financial assistance; it is a beacon of hope in the midst of my challenging circumstances.

As a medical student displaced by the ongoing war and living in a tent in Mawasi Khan Younis, your support means more than words can express. This will provide me with the tools I need to continue my education, to persevere against all odds, and to take one step closer to my dream of becoming a doctor who serves my people with dedication and compassion.

This scholarship is more than just a monetary contribution; it is a reminder that there are people who believe in my potential and are willing to invest in my future. For that, I am eternally thankful.

Thank you for not only easing my financial burden but also for reigniting my determination and hope. I promise to honour this trust by working tirelessly to achieve academic excellence and to make a meaningful impact in my community.

With deepest gratitude,

Karam Abdulkarim Afana
