Dear our friends and our donors,
Darfur Women Network hopes that all of you are doing great! We are existing to share with our report to udate you with our project progress, where we are, what we have done so far, and what we plan to do to have you join your project, please, take your time to review our report and let's know what is your recommendation, advice, and suggestion. Here is the reprot:
The Medical Career Scholarship Project: is designed in February 2014, the project is about education and capacity building service such as college preparation for no cost for immigrant youth from Darfur. The project will impact our students in different area such as:
early training and awareness
enhance students’ skills
advance personal communication
advance firsthand experience
enhance practical guidance and knowledge
Update:
We are excited about our first student from Darfur, living in Indiana, who will join the early training on June 22nd, 2014 in New York. The departure will be on June 17th, and will be hosted by people from Darfur (some of them are our Board of Directors) in New York, and then, will be dropped off at the training location. When the training finishes in June 30th, he will be taken to the airport to leave on July 2nd. The student will provide us with report and reflection on his experience to help us and parents to understand the practical experience and if there are lessons learned to improve our work. We will provide you with detailed report about the college preparation’s program.
Now, we are able to raise awareness of the parents of the students about the significance of the college preparation.
Since “enhance practical guidance and knowledge” is one of our project objectives, the project expanded its service to include volunteering coordination for students to provide an opportunity of connecting students with volunteering position and follow up with the volunteer coordinators form the organization or institution.
The Medical Career Scholarship Project was not able to raise fund to allow us to cover the cost of the training for this year. The good news is that Microsoft will help this project and the micro- project that focus on immigrant youth; therefore, with your help we can alleviate the finical burden from immigrant parents and provide opportunity to immigrant youth.
Good news:
Last week the GlobalGiving invites our project “The Medical Career Sponsorship” to participate in Microsoft Youth Spark Bonus Day! The GlobalGiving said, “Normally, leaders, and superstars’ partners are a part of the Youth Spark program, but we have invited you exclusively because of your outstanding performance on our platform.” Our outstanding performance as a result of the support of our donors, Thank you our donors and friends, you are always surprise us with good news. We thank the GlobalGiving for its unlimited support.
We are excited to invite you to support our project and our project and our micro project to reach our goal. The Microsoft Youth Spark program has pledged fund of $200.000 for 100% matching on June 25th.
This opportunity, will allow the Darfur Women Network to provide free service of charge to the immigrant youth from Darfur and other African countries in Indianapolis.
