Liberian student wins Mandela’s 100th Birth Anniversary Scholarship

A Liberian identified as Blessing L. M. Caine has been awarded the 100th Birthday Anniversary Scholarship of Nelson Mandela which was announced on the occasion of his 100 birthday anniversary recently.

She was among over 756 students across Africa that applied and was tested through essays, etc. Among the 100 that were finally awarded the scholarship, 23 students applied from Liberia.

Blessing is expected to leave the country the last week in August. It could be recalled that Mandela, himself, received key solidarity initiatives awarded from the
Liberian State.

Another key African personality associated with the scholarship is Garcia Machel, who serves on the board and is one of the sponsors and the first speaker to the group in Kigali and the discussion could be interactive in September first week.
