This message board is mainly intended for scholars to share views and keep in touch with each other. Use of the message board is in accordance with the Terms and Conditions.
We are sorry to have to include news of three deaths in 2008, one scholar and two TSCSF co-ordinators who will have been known to many of you.
Ephrem Gezmu Liche, an Ethiopian student, was a Royal Dutch Shell Scholar at the University of Twente in the class of 2006-2008. Ephrem had been studying Industrial Engineering and Management when he died of natural causes in April of 2008. A warm tribute to Ephrem by his thesis supervisor and fellow scholar, Robert Muhizi, can be found at www.utnieuws.utwente.nl/new/?artikel_id+72166
Ian Forgan was instrumental in setting up TSCSF in 1997 and worked for the Fund until August 2006 when he was diagnosed with the cancer which eventually killed him. He took a great deal of pride in the scholars and in the work that TSCSF did. He will be remembered for his warmth, intelligence, sense of fair play and ready wit. Ian died in May 2008.
Margaret Snell was involved with TSCSF from the outset and worked for the Fund for eight years. She loved the job and it gave her great satisfaction to work and have contact with young people from the developing world. Margaret will be remembered for her great kindness and generosity of spirit. Margaret died in October 2008.

| I am very sorry to hear about Ian and Margaret. Both of them were the co-ordinators of the programme when I was studying in the UK (2002-2003, UCL). They were very kind and enthusiastic people devoted to their work. I am sure they found peace. |

Dear all,
I am writing this with a heavy heart as I had the pleasure of knowing Margaret and Ian as people of great warmth and empathy. They remain some of the most remembered people from my time as a shell scholar at Imperial in 1999-2000. I wish that God would grant their families strength to bear the loss. God Bless their souls

Hi there,
I am currently pursuing my Master at the University of Leeds. I wonder if there are other Shell scholars here too. Feel free to drop me a line. Perhaps we can meet up for coffee.
See you and all the best to you all. :)
