A Year's Worth of Updates

I apologize for those who were following and looking for new information on the scholarship fund throughout this past year. The truth is the scholarship fund did not get a lot of outside support as I would have liked. However, the Huehue Scholars received money for tuition and supplies as promised every single month of this past school year. I had some wonderful donations from a few family members and friends which I am extremely grateful for. Six students received full or partial scholarships to be used towards their first year of high school. Todavia no ha pasado nada. We still have at least two more years to go. While it's been very challenging funding the scholarship program mainly by myself (on a non-profit salary), I believe in it. The children that were chosen to be awarded the scholarship have done their part. They have gone to school and worked hard.  I've received their grades throughout the year from the Peace Corps Volunteer who replaced me. The students have done well--just as they had during Basico (middle school). One year down...at least two more to go. I have some adjustments to make and have confidence that God will give me the wisdom, strength and confidence to make things happen. With the help of God, I'll continue to provide the necessary funds so that these six children can continue and complete their second year of high school.
