A proud farmer’s daughter and hardworking student, Karryle P. Piaga, 23, from Buguias, Benguet, a scholar of sponsors at The Cordillera Connection (TCC), attains her degree in Bachelor of Science in Development Communication at Benguet State University with an award of distinction or cum laude.
Financial difficulties did not stop Karylle to pursue her dream of getting a degree in the university, with a hope that her education can help her family to get out of poverty, not having to forever endure the hardships working in the farm and the ever changing prices of crops that gives them uncertainties when it comes to their livelihood.
Karylle reached out to The Cordillera Connection community to ask for help with her financial needs at school. A generous sponsor, an overseas worker, even agreed to provide her a laptop.
“Ti challenges a napadasak ket ti pinansiyal gapu ta kasapulan nga agbayad para iti boarding ken kasapulan nga aggatang ti materyales para iti pagadalan kas ti laptop. Gapu iti Cordillera Connection, adda ti nagsponsors kadagiti usarek kas ti laptop agingga second year college.” “English: The challenges I faced was financial difficulties as I needed to pay my accommodation and I needed to buy materials for school such as laptop. Because of The Cordillera Connection, some people sponsored my needs such as the laptop.
Karylle worked as student assistant at the university and as a bagger at a Korean shop to augment her needs. She struggled during the pandemic online classes but was able to turn the tides and performed well when classroom education resumed.
The Cordillera Connection Congratulates Karylle, her parents and her kindhearted sponsors.
