As I have posted recently in Study: my UPS and DOWN, well parang one will say that I am from a well off family. Hinde no! From my Kinder to College (take note:to College) I was one of the poster recipient of NMA. Pero di naman kmi poor hahahhaah..
What about this NMA? Norwegian Missionary Alliance as far as I know is a group of Christian Norway Nationals that sends financial assistance to Filipino Students. Every enrollment from Preparatory to Tertiary level of Education, the Alliance provides for the fees in school, uniforms, notebooks, bags, pens and other school supplies that a student needed. I don't know if the Alliance has the same system but during my time, that's how it goes. Its kinda scholarship grant because the recipient has to maintain his grades while studying AND (there's a BIG AND) let the recipient attend group gatherings and activities which I love the most because since the Poster Parents (the Norwegian) is a Christian, those activities mostly involves Christian fellowship, training, camping, and more of a youth connection to God. (I think the reason why the Alliance was so successful because it blesses its recipient not just financially but spiritually). It has even provided housing for some of its recipients.
I am proud that I am a product of NMA. I have met many friends during the camp, leadership training and other activities that are worth participating for. Surely I will come back to the Alliance after I finish Law School because they have been the Lord's instrument to bless many. I am very thankful to NMA. I'm praying that they will continue to help students because just like me, the Alliance made my dreams an inch to reach. Godspeed NMA!
