Ten Years of Education

By Gayle Lyn Kliever-Founder, Linda Voss | Volunteer

This year, the GLK Student Fund celebrates ten years of scholarship and education support in Tanzania – ten years of supporting the education of some of East Africa’s most vulnerable students. Both the Tanzanian and American organizations were officially registered by their respective governments in May of 2009. Three years later, we joined GlobalGiving to particularly support orphaned primary school children in their quest to gain an education.

In celebration of this milestone, Linda Voss, one of our volunteers, has written to all GLK supporters. Linda has visited our students in Tanzania. She has been particularly active in our work since her retirement as CFO and COO of Ally Corporate Finance, a business unit within Ally Bank.

A Note from Linda:

Thanks to each one of you for supporting the GLK Student Fund. Your support has helped make a difference in the lives of many people. You have directly helped the students that received scholarships, but also many others around them. The gift of education reaps life-long benefits and carries through to future generations. The support provided by the GLK Student Fund has definitely changed many lives.

As we celebrate our ten-year anniversary, we’d like you to consider doing something special for the GLK Student Fund. Consider sending an additional $10 / $100 / $1,000, as your situation allows, in honor of the tenth anniversary.

Gayle has put a tremendous investment into establishing and maintaining this fund for the past ten years. I met Gayle several years ago and was impressed with her story and what she is doing. I have been helping to support the fund in various ways since that time. I continue to be in awe of Gayle’s dedication and commitment to this fund.

This is the most impactful charity I have been involved with. I have directly seen the positive impact of the fund as I visited Tanzania with Gayle and met many current and former students and their families. These individuals are so grateful for the benefits provided by the GLK Fund. I know first-hand that the money donated goes directly to help the students, with minimal funds used for operating expenses or overhead.

Once again, thank you for your support. Please consider an extra gift this year in honor of the tenth anniversary of the GLK Fund, as your situation allows. We look forward to continuing to work together to help make a difference in the world.
