His legacy

	VHFF Scholarships in Memory Brian HoSang The Vincent HoSang Family Foundation has awarded the first scholarship commemorating the life of Brian Vincent HoSang son of the Foundation’s founders. The award was given to Sean Desmond Chin who will attend Florida State University in the fall as a communications major. The scholarship is one of five the Foundation donated recently. Also getting the awards were two other students who will start their first college courses in September and one who is set to receive his college degree. The fifth recipient is already settled onto a career path that likely will lead to U.S. citizenship. Sean’s award was part of the funds presented to him by a Florida scholarship program that encourages corporations to donate in memory of a loved one. Brian HoSang was the youngest child of Vincent and Jeanette HoSang owners and founders of Caribbean Food Delights Royal Caribbean Bakery and JerkQ’zine Caribbean Grille. Brian passed away in Mei 2008. Sean said he is grateful for the award and he will be spreading Brian’s legacy of “influencing people to become more kind hearted.” The other Foundation scholarship winners are also appreciative. Nicole Wickham says because of help from the foundation she was able to register for classes at Drexel University and pursue a degree in business administration. “I’m now working as a junior accountant for a small firm that has decided to sponsor me for U.S. citizenship” Ms. Wickham said. Meanwhile Nicole Chin-Lyn and George Jones start their college education in the fall. Chin-Lyn will graduate from Mahwah High School and enroll at Marist College as a major in organizational communication with a minor in theater. Jones will graduate from Mount St. Michael Academy in the Bronx and attend Penn State University. He will major in business management. Clive Ruddock is on the verge of his college graduation. He says he’s looking forward to his graduation. “I’m just two semesters away from getting honors” Clive said. He will be getting two degrees one in hospitality management the second in culinary arts. The Vincent HoSang Family Foundation donated the scholarships earlier this year. For Nicole Wickham the donation came in the nick of time. “I was faced with having to leave the U.S. if I didn’t register for classes” she said. Nicole Chin-Lyn used her donation to get exposure to European culture. “I was able to have this once-in-a-lifetime experience singing first soprano and dancing with elite performers from across the United States in the most acclaimed concert halls in Europe” she said. “Without the donation I never would have gotten the funds necessary to take this amazing journey.” Nicole Wickham found out about the foundation’s philanthropy through her pastor. “He told me he read about the foundation and the help it extended to many with tuition and health needs both abroad and in Jamaica” she recalled. But the pastor couldn’t recall where he read it so she started looking. “I left no stone unturned as I searched and asked people if they knew about the foundation. It took me days to find it but my effort was worthwhile” she said. Information was more readily available for the others. Clive said he too learned about the foundation through a story he read. “The article was published by the Mustard Seed Communities where I volunteer” he said. For Nicole Chin-Lyn the foundation was almost like family since Mr. HoSang had helped her father on a project more than a decade ago. “My dad and mom always spoke highly of the HoSang family especially their many generous contributions to the community” she said “so it was almost natural for me to reach out when I needed to raise funds for the European tour.” George didn’t have to do much to reach out to the foundation. He’s a part-time employee at Royal Caribbean Bakery. He said when he was facing financial hardship it was his boss who told him to appeal to the foundation. Now that he’s going on to college he has a more positive outlook. “I feel so blessed” George said. “My whole family feels so good…we are so happy.” Nicole Wickham best described how grateful she is for the scholarship award. “Words cannot express how much I appreciate the tremendous contribution received towards my studies from the Vincent HoSang Family Foundation” she said. “I am not the first to obtain help and certainly I will not be the last. There are many yet to benefit… “Let me use this opportunity to wish the Foundation continued growth and success in its future endeavors.”
