"Your foundation's commitment to education and philanthropy is truly inspiring"

As the world convenes in Paris for an Artificial Intelligence summit co-organized by France and India, discover the inspiring testimony of Faustina Hanna, a Cuomo Foundation scholar from southern India.

Enrolled in the engineering faculty at Panimalar Engineering College, this young woman is successfully pursuing a bachelor's degree that is both demanding and stimulating.

Faustina is part of a vibrant community of over 600 young adults who have benefited from our support in shaping their future.

I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to provide a brief update on my academic progress during the current academic year 2024-2025 in the first year of Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science at Panimalar Engineering College. 

I am pleased to report that I successfully completed my practical exams in December for Physics and BEEE (Basic Electrical and Electronic Engineering). Furthermore, I participated in the Ideathon competition, where our team collectively brainstormed innovative ideas related to sensors and actuators. Through this collaborative effort, we developed a novel concept for leakage management.

Additionally, I completed my semester exams from January 21st to January 31st 2025. I am currently awaiting the results.

I would also like to inform you about an upcoming international conference organized by our Panimalar Engineering College, scheduled to take place on March 21st and 22nd 2025. This conference will provide a platform for students to showcase their innovative ideas, either as individuals or teams, to a global audience, including experts and students from various colleges and foreign countries. Certificates will be awarded to participants.

I intend to participate in this conference, either individually or as part of a team, to present our innovative ideas and gain valuable feedback from experts.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the Cuomo Foundation for the scholarship support, which has enabled me to pursue my academic goals. Your foundation's commitment to education and philanthropy is truly inspiring.
