My apologies for the delay in posting. The report came through during a very busy time in school and I just realized today that I never shared any of it! Thanks to the bartending event and a last-minute funraising push, we successfully funded two students for this year!
Back in February (I said I was late in sharing...) I received the end of year report for the Itiso Scholarship from my on-the-ground partner. I'll write more about first student who was chosen -- Emmanuel -- in its own post. This year, the committee also selected a second student to get a scholarship. Emmanuel continues to receive the scholarship for his second and final year of upper high school (A-levels, for those familiar with the system there.) The last year is significantly more expensive, with extra tutoring and exam fees.

I’m going back to Tanzania this summer to visit, and plan to meet the students or their families, so I can tell you more about the impact this program is having on them and the community. I'm hoping to have more fundraisers this year and to add designated funding for girls' education.
If you would like to support the fund, you can donate to Friends of Tanzania here and write in Itiso Scholarship Fund as the designation, like so:
