Scholarships needed for these children

• On a very modest scale, Betty Press (bettypress@gmail.com) had a few readers of this blog respond to her notice that $60 pays for one term of education for children at the Cardiff Preparatory school near our apartment. She has in mind families the principal has identified whose parents have died and who are being raised by their grandparents or whose income is limited. Raven Wilke, back in our U.S. hometown of Hattiesburg, MS. has taken this to another level, raising funds for these children with local fundraiser. A big thank you to Raven for doing this. But more help is always needed. Image shows Sarah and Jestina who are in need of scholarships.

Scholarships needed for these children

If any of you would like to help, these four children need scholarships in order for them to continue going to Cardiff Preparatory School.  Each term costs about $60 and there are three terms.  So I am trying to raise some money to keep these children in school.  They really love going to school. Anything that you contribute would go directly to paying their school fees.  The headmistress is a lovely person and she really tries to keep her students in school if at all possible.
