Most of us have attended Dasmesh Punjabi School since Kindergarten.

We walked into this school 13 years ago, looking for some toys to play with, friends to talk to, and teachers to guide us. Over the years, these toys turned into textbooks, friends turned into family, and teachers became our biggest supporters. School no longer felt like a simple educational institute.

Rather, it felt like home, a place where we would always feel loved and cared for. We were given endless opportunities to practice our religion, to partake in academic and athletic competitions, and to develop a strong character. We spent the last 13 years making endless memories together and high school will not be the end of it. This school has taught us to always support each other and celebrate every milestone together.

Walking out today, I can proudly say this school has given us a lot more than what we were looking for. It provided us with exceptional education, a loving family, and caring mentors. We will definitely miss being here, but we are excited to see all the great opportunities the future holds for us.

You can’t wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club. - Jack London

T

he Fraser Valley Indo-Canadian Business Association scholarship program started in partnership with the Abbotsford Community Foundation in 1986. The Association believed in the importance of highlighting students who excelled not only in academics, but community involvement, sports and arts.

Over the years the number of recipients has grown leaps and bounds and with support from generous community partners, we are proud to honour 10 deserving students with $1000 each in 2019.

Amanjot Dhaliwal Manjot Benning

Michelle Wang

Logan McDonald

Brent Waldbillig

Aside from participating in many extra-curricular activities such as Global Awareness, Green Team, Yearbook and other school clubs, Amanjot has still found time to provide many volunteer hours for community organizations. Her ability to manage her time well with these various endeavors should bode well for her studies in the area of arts and humanities.

In addition to several weekly volunteer commitments, Michelle is an accomplished piano player and tap dancer. Combined with her unique talents, her great academic scores certainly indicate she will succeed in her pursuit of a career as a dermatologist.

She also hopes to become an entrepreneur by establishing her own line of skincare products

Logan is your all-around athlete having played on various basketball, football and baseball teams. Yet, this has not stopped him from volunteering and maintaining a 93% average.

His passion for athletics should fit well with his passion to pursue post-secondary education at UFV in the field of kinesiology.

While maintaining high academic grades, Brent has pursued leadership roles in addition to maintaining a commitment to volunteer activities in the community and at school by organizing fundraisers for organizations such as BC Children’s Hospital, Canucks Place and the BC Deaf Olympics. He hopes to achieve a degree in history with an aim to hold a position as an educator.

She has volunteered with many organizations such as Canuck Place and Big Brothers and Sisters while maintaining top tier academic scores. Manjot’s passion for hard work, leadership skills and dedication will serve her well as she sets her sights on a career in the medical field as a family physician. She plans to enroll at UFV.

Jessica Daveshar

She has contributed hundreds of hours volunteering with most being for the Abbotsford Hospital. However, that has not detracted Jessica from achieving excellent academic grades. Having lost her father to cancer, she intends to pursue studies in the medical field.

With her mother’s support, she plans to accomplish her goals by enrolling at UBC in the Faculty of Science.

Jasleen Nijjar

Mantekk Mantekk Parveen Gill

Jasleen’s capabilities are not limited to posting excellent academic grades as she was a member of the senior girls basketball, track and cross country teams while also participating in various volunteer commitments. She has exemplified maturity beyond her years in overcoming significant personal struggles and now intends to pursue a career in medical or scientific research. She plans to enroll at UFV.

While his focus and hard work has lead Mantekk to achieving academic honor roll status, his passion to help and serve has lead him to hold various volunteer roles. Although he has a passion for athletics, he already has his sights on the MCAT with plans to pursue a career in the medical field as a neurosurgeon. He will begin his journey at UFV.

In addition to making annual appearances on the Honor Roll, Parveen has contributed many volunteer hours at the hospital and a care home as well as other local organizations such as the Salvation Army and the Abbotsford Food Bank. She has held various leadership roles which should be a great stepping stone as she intends to pursue a degree in science with a focus on biology.

Jasraj Brar

In addition to successful stints as a ball hockey player and swimmer, Jasraj is a highly sought after soccer player. He has been fortunate to have played overseas in Europe after playing for the Mission Soccer Club, Abbotsford Soccer Club and eventually the Fraser Valley Premier. Despite his extensive commitment to athletics, he has maintained high grades which will serve as a stepping stone for his desire to pursue a Bachelor of Science at UFV.
