JOHAN BALBUENA

Dear Sandy Eggo SEO, I'm sincerely grateful and honored to be chosen as a recipient of the Sandy Eggo's Future Humanitarians Scholarship. Your support truly encourages me to continue my journey as a social equity activist and journalist, using storytelling to promote positive change in our communities. Thanks to your generous scholarship, I'm able to focus more fully on my Master's studies in New Media Journalism without the constant worry of financial constraints. This meaningful assistance lets me devote more time to my documentary projects and to integrating innovative tools like AI into my work, helping elevate underrepresented voices and broaden access to knowledge for aspiring creators. As someone dedicated to empowering communities through journalism and creative entrepreneurship, I feel closely connected to your mission of fostering dignity, safety, and inclusivity for underserved groups. Reading about Pablo Villalpando's commitment and hands-on service is truly inspiring, and it strengthens my resolve to give back and create impact in similar ways. Your support has made a genuine difference in my life and work, and I look forward to carrying these values forward in my career. Thank you for believing in students like me and for building a better, more compassionate world. Thank you, JOHAN BALBUENA
