Fundraising Event for Education

The awards event will double as a fundraising event to benefit the poor and the vulnerable children in the society. The fundraising will be conducted in conjunction with the Uplift a child International Inc., a non-profit organization dedicated to educating the poor children in Nepal, the Philippines, India and Africa. Our current academic success makes this the best time to extend a helping hand to the need, making it possible for the less fortunate to have access to education.

Hilary Clinton - A Remarkable Leader

Hilary Clinton is a renowned American politician who was the 67Th US Secretary of State (2009-2013), US senator from New York (2001-2009) and the First Lady of the US (1993-2001). She was the first woman to win a presidential ticket from a major party despite falling short of her goal to become the 45th US president. Though she has an impeccable political career, Hilary Clinton came from an ordinary American family, but her hard work and dedication enhanced her academic success, and shaped her into the commendable politician and leader she is today. As a strong, elegant, refined, and educated woman and leader, Clinton has been in the forefront in promoting equality by enhancing and supporting the provision education of all people across nations. She is a perfect example of how education can raise people from grass to grace, thus is a role model to people who wish to succeed in the midst of their not-so-great backgrounds. A speech from such a leader will have long-lasting motivational effects on our students which is vital for success in academics and life in general.
