Listed below are ways to contribute to causes that I’m involved in. Please leave a comment or email me with any questions, and thank you for your support!
Theo Scholarship Fund
This is a private scholarship fund to benefit a Rwandan co-worker (non-teaching member of the administrative staff) at the Maranyundo School, so that he may pursue a bachelors’ degree in public administration at a university in Kigali. The cost of one year of tuition in Rwanda is about $1000, a small amount for American standards but prohibitively expensive for most Rwandans - including this individual - even after years of working. My American co-workers and I are raising $4500 to cover the costs of four years tuition plus registration and wire transfer fees. Since November 2009, we have collected $1600. Any amount you are able to contribute is GREATLY appreciated. An independent accounting of all funds collected will be made available on request.
