A note from Ayesha

Read a letter from Ayesha, a Pharmacy student and WEP scholarship student.

Hello WEP!

Now my 2nd mid-exams are over. I am a Pharm D (Doctor of pharmacy) student. It is recognized by the Pharmacy Council of India (PCI). After the completion of this course one can go for specialization i.e, Y1 & Y2 in Cardiology, Gastroenterology, Dermatology, Pediatrics or Gynecology.

I always dreamt of a profession which would help me not only support my family but also serve the society and by becoming a pharm d doctor, I am getting such opportunity. Although I had interest in many subjects yet I feel drawn towards a health care oriented career, seeing the need for health services in my country. As a health care professional I aim to improve the quality of life of the patient, in the best way possible, in a collective effort along with the health care team.

I am so grateful to Womens Education Project (WEP) for providing me the scholarship which is being helpful in my educational expenses and clearing loans taken for the purpose as it was being difficult to maintain, from my father’s income, all the expenses of four children in my family.

I am in need of financial support to continue with my studies for which I found WEP as a RAY OF HOPE. This gave me an encouragement in the long run to achieve my career goal.

I really do appreciate WEP i.e. designed for a good cause. And me and my family are very thankful to WEP for helping me and girls like me to achieve our career goals with confidence.

Thanks,

Ayesha
