Three friends who met through the Denver Scholarship Foundation and started the Kobu Foundation while at CU Boulder to deliver food to families in need received the S.J. Dilenschneider Community Award and a $10K check to continue their work.
DENVER — Samariddin Meliboev, Jamal Gironazi and Kai Suematsu want to make sure no one ever goes hungry.
“I’ve gotten a lot of help from the community when I first came to the U.S., so this is more of a giving back to my community” says Samariddin. “S.J. Dilenschneider is my grandfather, and we give this award once a year to those individuals out there who are making a difference in the community”, said David Dilenschneider who also handed over a check to the Kobu Foundation for $10,000 dollars on behalf of the Scripps Howard Foundation, Denver7’s parent company.
“No one told me,” said Jamal. “I just expected to come in and say, ‘What’s up, what am I doing,’ and then go back to Boulder and go back to coding. I’m so very, very, very happy.”“We live in such a me generation,” said David Dilenschneider, “where there’s so much focus on the individual and what ‘I’ want.
