Dear friends,
We are delighted to welcome a new cohort of Graça Machel Scholars to Canon Collins!
Eleven inspirational women are starting their studies soon. Among them are:
Relebohile Hlabana (Lesotho): Honours in Chemistry at the University of KwaZulu-Natal
Nosizwe Khayelihle (South Africa): Honours in Agricultural Economics at Stellenbosch
Mannyalleng Relebohile Alice Makhetha (Lesotho): MSc in Renewable Energy, also at Stellenbosch
Masozi Victoria Nkunika (Zambia): MSc in Oncology Nursing and Palliative Care at Wits
Paula Monjane (Mozambique): PhD in Health Policy and Management at Erasmus University in Rotterdam
We are proud to be supporting these exceptional women in realizing their visions for their communities. We look forward to charting their progress!
At Canon Collins Trust we are passionate about scholarships because of their potential not only to transform the lives of the recipients, but also to impact their communities. Our scholarship recipients go on to lead change, whether as directors of civil society organizations, pioneering researchers, or innovative policymakers. Graça Machel Scholars are no exception, as the following recent updates illustrate...
Dinah Katonda (M.Ed at Chancellor College, Malawi in Education Policy, Planning and Leadership) is Senior Primary School Inspector and Advisor at the South East Education Division in Zomba, Malawi. She is also chairing the newly-launched Malawi Canon Collins Trust Alumni Association. She leads a committee of seven Canon Collins alumni, who in turn lead a fast-growing group of alumni from across the country, tasked with the mission of "developing, capacitating and empowering...alumni with the skills to change their communities for the better".
Grace Ntaote (PhD Education, Nelson Mandela University) is now lecturing at the Lesotho College of Education in Maseru. Her research explores ways of assisting Lesotho educators to offer care and support to vulnerable children orphaned by AIDS. In Lesotho, where HIV prevalence is the highest in the world, Grace's research is not only topical, but also of great value as the country's education system works on its response to the crisis.
Your donations enable us to continue supporting women like the individuals profiled above. We thank you most sincerely for your support.
Best wishes
Emily
