Thank you to everyonr who helped by donating to the Itiso Scholarship Fund! Your "thank you" cards are in the mail as we speak. Thanks to you, I was able to surpass the goal needed this year and pay the fees for our first selected recipient, Emanuel. My local counterpart, Mr. Sendege, together with Remedius from the NGO assisting with the bank transfers, went to the school to pay Emanuel's fees and check in on him.

Emanuel is doing well and excited to be furthering his education and we are proud to be able to help him get there!

Since we surpassed our financial needs for this year, we have a little set aside already for next year, when we will be supporting Emanuel for his last year of secxondary school
and supporting a new Form V student from Itiso. For information on giving a tax-deductible donation, please see
this post. All donations go directly to the fund! You can give a one-time donation or a recurring donation to be given monthly. On behalf of the students, thank you for your interest and support!
