Thank you to all our donors for a successful September Fundraising Challenge! With your generous support, we raised $4,600 from 66 unique donors, surpassing our goal of $4,000. We have earned a permanent spot on GlobalGiving.org, as well as funded one full-ride university scholarship for 2011!
This week, we will distribute our first round of applications to eligible students in Batey Libertad, Dominican Republic. Applications are due on October 25th, and two scholars will be announced by the end of November. Scholars will be selected by an impartial committee on the basis of academic merit, financial need, and commitment to community service and development.
Stay tuned for the selection of our first scholars in November!
Thank you for your tremendous support.
