Paying the Price

Education is not cheap.  Books, papers, pencils, and other supplies come at a cost.  Teacher salaries, bills for the operation of the school, and other things make education expensive (that doesn't even mention the technology that cause a huge increase is expense in the future).  But it's needed.

Bahrain understands the dilemma and is acting on it.  Five hundred students are going to be the recipients of financial assistance provided by the government through out their education and into their transition in the working world.  The Royal Charity Organization Board of Trustees, headed by Shaik Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa, will target those students that come from under privileged backgrounds, and help them change their future, and the future of their family.

The government recognizes that each person in the world, no matter how old or where they are, suffers from something.  This initiative provides relief to someone suffering, and gives them an opportunity to become successful and a contributing member of society.
