Call for proposal and Scholarships

19/09/2025 Leticia Lượt xem: 86

Today, I worked with my supervisor on a call for proposal I had found last week. It was interesting to discover this side of NGO work, which involves organizing information, presenting it clearly, and adapting it to the requirements of different partners. It gave me a better sense of the behind-the-scenes efforts needed to support the projects carried out in the communities.

Searching for a call for proposal is not that easy. You have to go through different platforms, and when you find one that matches your area of expertise, you need to check the deadline, conditions, funding available, and the focus of the organization providing the grant. You also need to make sure you have enough time to prepare the application—ideally a few days or weeks before the submission date. Finally, the proposal itself must be carefully written and structured to have a real chance of being selected.

In the afternoon, we attended a scholarship ceremony for primary and secondary school students, held in a government building. This time, all the scholarships came directly from Thiện Chí. The ceremony opened with a speech from the NGO’s director, encouraging students and parents to stay committed to education and to do their very best. Other speeches followed, recognizing the center’s 20 years of continuous support to the community, especially through educational programs.

Certificates and flowers were presented as tokens of gratitude, and one student spoke on behalf of the others, promising to study hard in the coming year. In total, 59 scholarships were distributed.

Ceremonies like this are a reminder of the importance of education, and how initiatives like scholarships can help ensure more children stay in school and continue their studies.
