Student Sohrab Ayan from Hamburg has been chosen for a full scholarship to the value of around € 14.000 for a one-year exchange programme in Nova Scotia, Canada.
Out of the 200 applications received, the young German student with strong Afghan roots impressed Xplore and the NSISP - Nova Scotia International School programme with his personality and the very moving story of his family.
During a ceremony following the official conference of the Canadian Association of Public Schools in the Le Meridian Hotel in Hamburg the prize was officially handed over.
But not only the scholarship has been awarded, Ayan also received information on his host family and his new school. Sohrab will leave at the end of August towards Canada, and will be staying in Sherbrooke, around 20 km from the Atlantic Coast.
The selection and award was organised by the Xplore Foundation, also based in Hamburg. www.xplorefoundation.de
