  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Help for Samuel

Status
Not open for further replies.
I am Samuel from India.

I am the only child to my parents, for sixteen years they gave me education.They sacrificed most of their salary for my studies.

They had a dream, they wanted me to study the M.S. program in U.S. or Canada after I completed my bachelors degree in engineering.

No one in our whole family had a masters degree. My Grand father was a farm labourer , so my Father could not even dream of higher studies.

I am my parents only hope.

As soon as I completed my Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering in April 2003, I wrote the GRE and TOEFL. I got a score of 1070 out of 1600 in GRE and 250 out of 300 in TOEFL.

I applied for a University in Canada and another in the United States. My parents did not even have enough money for applying, so in order to apply they sold our motorcycle.

I got the call letter from the canadian University. I took the call letter and appeared for a Visa at the Canadian Consulate, But the officer refused to give me a VISA because My parents are POOR.

After hearing this I and my parents were heart broken. My Mother got sick and is at the Hospital.

Recently, I got a CALL LETTER from OHIO UNIVERSITY at ATHENS in the UNITED STATES for WINTER 2004 for Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering . But I can Study there only if I get an Assistantship or financial aid or by some kind hearted person sponsoring for my studies.

I have to prove to the VISA officer at the American Consulate that I have enough funds for my studies.

My classmates who applied for the U.S. Universities belong to the Hindu Relegion. They are saying that they have relatives who will sponsor them for their studies. They are mocking me and laughing at me saying that I will never be able to study in America.

I have to appear for the Student Visa Interview at The American Consulate here in India in October.

My parents are financially poor. Is there any help for me.

I write this letter with tears. Is there any hope for me.

I would be grateful to anyone who help me.

Kindly reply me.

:help: :cry:

I CRY OUT TO GOD.

Hi Samuel
I am praying for you that God will guide you and his will be done. I am sorry to hear that you were denied a visa on the basis that you are poor, that is so sad. :sigh:

I will get some scholarship and grant information that may help you. There are many scholarships/grants you can apply for online, and some do not require a fee, some are specifically for international students wanting to study here.
I wish you only the best with your studies. I pray you may be able to move to America and live in Ohio where you can get an education. I will help in any way when it comes to education. I feel there are 2 things we take with us when we die, Love and knowledge. Praying for and with you and again I will get some scholarship info and forward it to you as soon as possible.
Take care and if you need anything else please let me know...
Remember God is with you, you are never alone my friend. Never.
