Sachdave Singh is all packed and ready to go, his flight leaves tomorrow evening and his mounting excitement is palpable. Notice was short – barely two weeks ago, it was just another regular day out with his family when that fateful phone call came in, informing him of his successful scholarship application.
“At first I wasn’t sure how to react because I really didn’t expect to get the scholarship. I told my parents and grandparents and the next thing I knew, we were hugging each other and there was laughter all around. It was a very happy moment,” he recalls during a recent interview at Menara Gamuda in Petaling Jaya.
