College...here we come!

Just wanted to give you an update on our Scholarship Program and share some of the best news we've gotten in the past few weeks!! As many of you know, we currently have 5 female recipients who are students at Byanzi CDSS (Community Day Secondary School) north of the airport.

Well, two of our students, Tamara and Litah, passed their Form 4 exams! The girls took the exams in October after studying for a year. The results arrived late January and were just recently announced on the radio! Talk about pressure. Both girls were the first in their familes to be awarded a MSCE (Malawi School Certificate of Education), marking their graduation from Secondary School.
The government just passed a date of examination change, and beginning this year students will now take the exams in June. So keep your fingers crossed for our next exam takers, Precaria and Monica.

Congratulations girls and thank you to all of you who support our Scholarship Program! If you'd like to donate, you may do so online at http://www.worldcampforkids.org/.
