My Nonprofit Reviews

Let me tell you the story about this amazing foundation and people standing behind this idea. I've got in touch with Jericho out of need, cause I needed to speak out about mysself, my dreams and wishes, but growing up in typical postwar society-I couldn't make my dreams come true without someone's help. I started googling scholarship programs and I've been reading positive stories of Jericho students, something like you are now reading my review. I was so thrilled and encouraged with the idea. I applied for a scholarship and ever since I am part of Jericho family. I can't believe already 8 years. Jericho gave mr opportunity to achieve my golas of studying, developing as individual and gain leadership competences including high motivation and love among other things. I've been Jericho scholarship recipient for both my BSc and Master degree in mechanical engineering. Jericho gave me financial support and encouragement with believing in what I wanted to achieve. I met so many other students with similar stories, people who are still my friends, where we've been helping each other by studying, playing, hanging out, or just listening our life stories. With Jericho seminars in Bosnia, Jericho donors, each professionals in their fields are trying to bring some useful topics. And trust me, I've learnt so much about controlling anxiety, organisig my time, studying habits, public speech, improving English, share new ideas. I've been elected as Jericho student representative which was very fun and enjoyable role of organising events, hrlping our American friends with understanding possible culture differences, organising trips etc. My internship in the US was over my expectations and I think that many Americans are not aware of how important it is to get a letter of recommendation from the States and how more professional we are considered here while applying for jobs. On every job interview I've been asked the same question about my internship with delight. Nowadays I have 2 and a half years of experience as a mechanical engineer in systemplanning. I found job immediately upon my graduation. I am working for big building corporation with more than 9000 employees. I can't explain with my words how grateful I am to be successful story of this organisation. I am writing this as a former student current donor who's been reading the same reviews about Jericho 8 years ago, and helping to another engineer/doctor/teacher/scientist/athlete/lawyer/teacher, cause knowledge is the main weapon indeed.

I am Jericho scholarship recipient. Without Jericho's help I couldn't imagine my future and the moment I am living right now. I couldn't count on my parents' and older brother's help. They couldn't find a job and living in situation like that is sometimes very hard to imagine. My mother and father have only the primary school and brother has high school education. My mum had a cancer and she wasn't been able to pay the drugs and medical treatment. Because of Jericho's support I will be able to help my family I will find a job and become a successfull person who will stay in Bosnia and restore the hope in my country.
