Received May 2018
To Kodai Friends International (KFI).
We are some senior students of Kodaikanal International School and through this letter we would like to express our sincere gratitude and thanks to the school management for considering us to receive financial aid for our senior field trip to Andaman.
It was a trip to the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, a place that we never thought we would be going for our senior field trip. When we first heard about this trip, we were really excited and were eagerly looking forward to the Field Trip week in September. But as days went by and as the dates were approaching, there were a lot of financial confusions and concerns. Thinking about the family situations and our parents, the cost of the trip did mean a lot to us. That is when financial help was requested from everyone possible. Many people started to help by funding our trip.
We truly appreciate everyone’s contributions towards this Field Trip, starting from Mr. Corey and his wife, KIS alumni- particularly the KFI, some KIS parents, other students and everyone else who helped fund our trip wholeheartedly.
On behalf of the class of 2018, we would like to individually thank everyone who has financially helped us. Without your kindness, support and help, many of us would not have had the opportunity to learn, experience and be a part of some of the greatest and most enjoyable moments of our life at KIS.
We feel honored and humbled to receive this financial aid and are extremely grateful for the learning opportunities it has provided us. Once again, thank you for your investment in us. Hopefully in the future too with your continued support and help, students like us will continue to be able to experience learning through such programs.
Warm Regards,
Class of 2018
