Dear Hexagon Trust Fund,
I hope this email finds you well. My name is Akhona Tshiseka, and I am originally from Dutywa, Eastern Cape. I am reaching out to express my sincere gratitude to Hexagon Trust Fund for the financial support provided to me from February 2011 to November 2014.
Your funding played a pivotal role in enabling me to successfully complete my studies in Environmental Health at Nelson Mandela University. Thanks to your assistance, I was able to acquire the necessary skills and knowledge to pursue a career in this field.
I am delighted to inform you that, as a direct result of your support, I have secured a position with one of the leading cruise ship companies in the USA. This opportunity would not have been possible without your investment in my education and professional development.
Once again, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Hexagon Trust Fund for believing in me and providing the means for me to achieve my academic and career goals. Your generosity has made a lasting impact on my life, and I am truly grateful for your invaluable assistance.
Thank you for your continued support and for being a beacon of hope for aspiring individuals like myself.

I came across you guys on Facebook and just thought I’d send an email to thank you guys for the bursary provided to me for my tertiary education from 2011 to 2014. Thanks to HT, I successfully completed my post graduate diploma in accounting and I’ve even qualified as a CA (SA) at the end of 2018.
I’ve just returned from the UK after completing a secondment there with one of the big four auditing firms - and I just wanted to say that none of this would have been as smooth and easy as it was without the assistance of Hexagon Trust. My mom is a single parent and it would have been extremely difficult for her to pay off my university fees and we would still probably be paying it off, if it wasn’t for the bursary I received. I still remember the interview I had for the bursary way back in 2010 with the board members and being asked why I want to achieve my goals and aim high in life - my answer was, and still remains the same, is that I do all of this for my mom so that she can stop working and finally get the break she deserves.
Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to provide her with that break as yet, as I’m still currently seeking a job - however, when I do secure one and give her the break she finally deserves, I then look forward to giving back to Hexagon Trust, so that perhaps another student, with a background like mine, and an amazing mom like mine can achieve the same.
Thank you to the board of trustees for considering me worthy of such a bursary and basically investing in me. I will forever be grateful.
