“It was really important for me to be awarded a bursary to further my studies as I was from under privileged family, both of my parents had passed away and there was no bread winner at home. I will forever be grateful to Canyon Coal for awarding me the bursary as now I am able to provide for my siblings. The bursary covered me for 3 years from 2014-2016, it included tuition fees, study materials, accommodation and a stipend. Canyon Coal was always there for me emotionally and administration wise, they were always attending to my challenges attentively. I did my vacation work and P1 and P2 in service training with them, they were always ready to assist me. My career aspirations are to become the best in the field that I have studied and achieve a senior position.”
