Yemin Orde Graduates

Scholarship Funds

Each year Yemin Orde provides approximately 150 graduates with scholarships to universities and other institutions of higher education. On January 3, 2012, graduates of Yemin Orde Youth Village returned to receive recognition in a special ceremony attended by all of the children and other friends.

On “Graduates Day”, there are many special activities at the Village. The graduates meet in small groups with the older children and discuss the paths their lives have taken since they finished high school. The children are greatly influenced by the accomplishments of the graduates and have many questions for them. The older children can imagine themselves as the graduates who, just a few years before, were sitting in the same place and wondering about their future, too.

In the evening, there is a special ceremony for the graduates and all of the children in the Village are welcome to attend. During the ceremony, each graduate is called by name to the stage. This individual recognition and respect instills pride in the Yemin Orde graduates. It also provides motivation for the other children to succeed and to follow in the footsteps of those who came before them.
