UWI Scholarship Recipient Tajay Henry

Appreciation on behalf of the many students came from Tajay Henry whose heartfelt story resonated throughout the capacity-filled ballroom ” As I reflect on the last three years, words are not enough to express my gratitude for all you have done for me through my UWI Toronto Benefit Awards Scholarship. Your support has shifted the trajectory of my life. You have helped me realise that I am enough, that I am capable, and that I can achieve and bring my dreams to reality. I am forever grateful to you, the donors and UWI Toronto Gala for the unconditional support over the years to ensure that a young stranger becomes more than a statistic.

I am a couple of months away from graduating , and I am ecstatic that you have chosen to join my journey and to help fulfil a major accomplishment in my life. Thank You!”
