This year is an extra special year as the foundation celebrates ten blessed years and to share this blessing, Tapulanga Foundation granted college scholarship grants to seven students from Class of 2011. The foundation has usually given to only one or two students per year so this is by far the biggest number of grantees, A BIG THANKS to all the donors who made this possible!
The A Gift of Hope - Manila College Scholarship Grant is given by the Tapulanga Foundation, thru the efforts of the Manila board members headed by Dr. Jo-an Ledesma-Millonado, as they organized a benefit dinner last February 26, 2011. The funds raised during the dinner went to two college scholarship grants.
Mrs. Agnes Ledesma-Segovia, president of the school and mother of Dra. Millonado, presented the awards.
The Leo G. Wassmer College Scholarship Grant is given by Dr. Michael Wassmer, a Pediatric Intensivist in Makati Medical Center in Manila. He learned about Tapulanga Foundation through A Gift of Hope benefit dinner and this scholarship grant is in honor of his father, the late Mr. Leo Wassmer.
Mr. Joseph Conrad "Joey" Ledesma, board member of Tapulanga Foundation, presented the award.
The Captain Gregorio S. Oca College Scholarship Grant is given by Dr. Conrad Oca, the Medical Director of Seamen's Hospital in Manila. He learned about Tapulanga Foundation through A Gift of Hope benefit dinner as well and this scholarship grant is in honor of his father, the late Captain Gregorio S. Oca.
The Tornquist College Scholarship Grants are given by the Tornquist family: Aase and Tore with their children, Audun and Ragnar, and Ragnar's wife, MaiMai Ledesma-Tornquist. They live in Norway.
The Tornquist College Scholarship Grant is the family's way of sharing to others.
Mrs. Sally Ledesma, the mother of MaiMai Ledesma-Tornquist, presented the awards.
The last, but not the least, college grant awarded is the Kalaw-Ledesma Foundation College Scholarship Grant, given by Dra. Lourdes Ledesma, daughter of Rafael Ledesma of Silay and Purita Kalaw of Iloilo. Dra. Ledesma has sponsored this student since grade school and has been a loyal and most generous donor of the Tapulanga Foundation.
