Itiso Scholarship Fund - Updates and new blog!

The Itiso Scholarship Fund now has its own blog, separate from my service blog.  You can find it at itisoscholarship.blogspot.com

I wish I had remembered to update here earlier, but we successfully met -- and surpassed! -- the goal to send Emanuel to Dodoma Secondary!!  My counterpart and NGO partner went to the school to pay his fees and took some photos posted on the scholarship fund blog.  Check it out!

Thanks to the generousity of my friends and family, we are already well on our way to raising enough to support Emanuel in his last year of secondary school in 2016.  I hope to be able to raise enough to support an additional student next year.  Stay tuned and thank you!!
