“When I heard the school was damaged in the port explosion, I was absolutely heartbroken. I was devastated to hear that the school I grew up in, spent my entire life studying in, and met a lot of amazing people in, was damaged. BBS is an amazing school that has created a wonderful environment for me to learn in, as well as an environment to meet people who have become some of my closest friends. The school has taught me the value of teamwork and cooperation with other people. I’m grateful for the school’s scholarship support—without it I wouldn’t have stayed in the school.

“Three of my daughters are currently enrolled in BBS (grades 2, 6, and 10). If it were not for scholarship support, I don’t know what we would have done. Due to the economic crisis my salary was cut in half. BBS is not an ordinary school—it’s my daughters’ family. The school staff all treat my daughters as their own kids, and whenever we have problems they are quick to respond. I am grateful that we are a part of the BBS family.”
