Scholarship Program 2005-2006

This year we have obtained scholarships for 8 young ladies, 4 studying in private junior high school and 4 studying in public junior high schools.

Your contribution will go toward the education of a gifted, but extremely poor, young indigenous girl from one of the five communities. 

Tuition for a private education costs about $200.00 each year.  A year in Public Schools costs about $100.   Most parents can not spare the money, what with many other children to support and especially for a girl who is usually needed to work in the home.

Parents and students met with Margaret and Frank of the Ali Shungu Foundation and with leaders of the community  to receive scholarship funds.
