"Education
is not the filling of a bucket, but the
lighting of a fire."
United Way of Baroda has been chosen
by Stitching Fusion Study Foundation
of Netherlands to support in its endeavor
to provide interest free loans to the
best and brightest minds.
There are a lot of deserving students
not being able to pursue the educational
career of their choice just because
of financial constraints. Fusion Study
Foundation is an attempt to make a dent
in this issue where bright minds will
get helping hand till they finish their
Master’s Degree Course. Under
this project students are given returnable
interest free loans. Presently this
is being offered to students of Gujarat
and Rajasthan.

ROAD SHOW (24th February, 2011-4th March,
2011): Mr. Roelf Van Der Wijk, the Co-Founder
of Fusion Study Foundation felt that the
United FSF Family could still reach out
to the more needy students. Thus, in order
to reach out to them, in the interior rural
areas, for the first time a road show was
organised. The main purpose of the road
show was to pass the FSF message to as many
students and teachers as possible. |
