Dear Alumni,

We are pleased to announce the winners of 2016 KGSF Essay Contest.

First, we are delighted with the hosting of the first essay competition and greatly appreciate your participations. All your essays successfully describe the education and experiences at KAIST as well as your applications to the field work. So they will be used in a valuable way to achieve our development. The contest was judged by the KAIST-KOICA Program committee through a double stage review process.

The first and second winners are:
    ○ First winner: Kwesi Asante from Ghana
    ○ Second winner: Vongsokunthy Koun from Cambodia
Above two winners will be invited to attend a workshop and a ceremony in Seoul, South Korea in December 2016.

The third and fourth winners are:
    ○ Third winner: Jessica Andrea Bolanos, from Ecuador
    ○ Forth winner: Lila Raj Kafle, from Nepal
Above two winners will be given a plaque and the school logo watch set or equivalents as prizes.

We are going to provide the rest of the participants with a small gift as well.

Congratulations to all the winners!

Note that the essays of the first and second winners will be published both in the newsletter and the homepage to share the prize works. Again, thanks to all participants!
