Our Scholarship Kids - page 1/10

These are some of the children we have chosen from the community who's parents are unable to contribute financially towards the cost of their education. We would like to match each one of them with an individual, family or group of concerned people who are not only able to help us cover the costs of educating these children but can also dedicate a little time to corresponding with the selected child and forming a mutual relationship over time. These children not only need a good education, they also need to know that someone in the world really cares how they are doing in their individual learning adventure.
