Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>In 1954, a dedicated Buddhist nun purchased land through generous donations and built the Fook Soo Am temple in an underserved part of Port Louis, the capital city of Mauritius.<\/p>\n

Her name was Ah Feeti and she was known as a person of high moral principles, practised diligently throughout her life. Often compared to Mother Teresa, worshippers from around the world come to pray at Fook Soo Am, inspired by the founder\u2019s example of devotion in serving the poor and the sick.<\/p>\n

The creation of the Ah Feeti of Fook Soo Am Memorial Scholarship was made possible through the generosity of University of Ottawa professor Stephanie Chitpin and her family.<\/p>\n

The scholarship is intended for racialized students pursuing undergraduate degrees in the Faculty of Education, including Indigenous, M\u00e9tis, Inuit and members of visible minorities, who are involved with issues of social justice, inclusion and equity.<\/p>\n

\u201cEstablishing this scholarship in memory of Ah Feeti, for her good work and her exemplary life, has been a source of great personal joy,\u201d said Professor Chitpin.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am delighted her legacy of devotion and service will be honoured through this scholarship for years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n
