GLOBAL Arcus founder and CEO Mr Sachin Shekar has bid farewell to a group of Zimbabwean students who are preparing to leave for studies in India, courtesy of the Global Arcus Scholarships programme.
The scholarship programme was made possible through a collaborative effort between Mobishop Two Six Three Connect Pvt Ltd, Global Arcus, Shamwari Dzinovaka Foundation and other partners.
Mr Shekar congratulated the scholarship recipients, urging them to work hard, while thanking parents for their trust in his company.
“It is an honour for Global Arcus to play a part in your educational journey, and we are committed to providing you with the support you need to succeed in India,” he said.
“I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the parents for entrusting us with the care of their children. We understand the sacrifices that come with sending your child abroad for education, therefore, we expect them to work hard.”
Mobishop Two Six Three Connect Pvt Ltd’s founding managing director Mr Tendai Davy Makiwa said Zimbabwe’s growth requires partnerships for lasting impact nationwide.
“Zimbabwe remains one of the most hopeful places on the globe with various untapped opportunities which require active private companies to partner with the government and international partners to deliver lasting impact individuals, communities and society as a whole.” Said Mr Makiwa.
A parent, Melusi Sibanda, thanked the organisers for granting a scholarship to his son, saying it is a dream come true for him to study in India.
“It is a dream come true, this achievement is a testament to the power of collaboration and partnership, which I need to thank on behalf of the parents.
“I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Global Arcus, Mobishop and all the other organisations involved in making this initiative a success, you have made it possible for students like my son to access world-class education and pursue their aspirations.”
One of the students, Tinovimbanashe Sewera, pledged to utilise her time in India to garner innovative ideas, thereby contributing to their country’s progress.
“Personally, as a student going to study in India, I pledge to bring more ideas to advance my country’s digital economy,” he said.
“Just as our forefathers built the Great Zimbabwe with their own intelligence, I believe my generation can exceed their legacy with our own intelligence, affirmed by our studies abroad.”
