Dear Collette, I wanted to extend my heartfelt thanks for choosing me as the recipient of the Breaking Barriers Scholarship for Women. I feel both honored and uplifted by your belief in my potential and the recognition of the resilience shared by so many young women from immigrant backgrounds. Your support provides much more than financial assistance—it enables me to focus on my studies and pursue my passion for making technology and STEM education accessible to underserved communities. Thanks to your generosity, I can continue leading our Girls Who Code chapter, teaching coding to children in Zambia and Zimbabwe, and advocating for equity in tech as a Youth Ambassador. As I prepare to major in computer science, my dream is to develop scalable platforms that offer free, interactive coding lessons to empower others, especially those who might not otherwise have access. Your scholarship brings me closer to realizing this vision and fuels my commitment to creating lasting social impact. I'm truly inspired by your dedication to uplifting women like myself. Knowing there are people like you who champion the dreams and struggles of immigrant women gives me hope and drive to pay this kindness forward. Thank you for supporting my journey and for your faith in the next generation of changemakers. Thank you, Eunah Maumbe
