"It is my strong desire to express my gratitude to Keren Hanan Aynor for the scholarship which you gave me and for the holy work which you are doing on behalf of the Ethiopian people. It is so good to know that there are incredible people who are helping us to go out and study in order to acquire a degree and a profession".

"I want to thank you for deciding to grant me a scholarship this year. Your help greatly reduces my financial stress this year, and this will enable me to both suceed in my studies as well as to support my family with fewer worries. It also enables me to a be a positive role model to my four children and to the entire community — to show them that it is possible to suceed, and that even if it is hard along the way, you must know to ask for help. For me, at this time you are helping me to cope with the stress and the challenges that go hand in hand with studying, working and raising a family. I know that at the end of the road, it will be worth it both for me and for my family and that through my studies I can help all of us to succeed. For this, I express my sincerest appreciation".

"Today, I am beginning my second year of studies at Achva College. For me, it is not a given that “I will meet wonderful people along the way”. The difficulties of my life and my regular struggles have become an inseperable part of my life. There are simply not enough words to express to you my thanks and the significance of the help that you are providing me with at this time in my life. It is so much more for me than a financial matter. For me, the scholarship is recognition of me as a person and it acknowledges the significance of my dreams and my life".

"On behalf of the students at HaKfar HaYarok, I want to thank Keren Hanan Aynor. With your help, the students here are shrinking the gap between the reality of their lives and their dreams. I see in Keren Hanan Aynor a true partner in our educational journey".

On behalf of my family, I'd like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the support I received over the years.
