BURSARIES

• This year, we are happy to be offering bursaries worth $500 - $1,000 for our Africa projectt.
• Bursaries will be awarded based on:
  1. Demonstration of financial need.
     
  2. Demonstration that the applicant has something exceptional to offer the project.

For the second criterion, applicants must address the project they are registered for specifically (e.g., "What is it you bring that will help what we do as part of the Ethiopia project, which is different from what we do in Tanzania?")

• Send applications to Carolyn de Lang at carolyn@blytheducation.com

• Deadline for applications is May 25. Winners will be announced on June 2nd.

FUNDRAISING

NEW! Our Fundraising Package is now available! It includes:

• A sample/guide for writing a personal letter, which volunteers can send to personal contacts and businesses asking for donations.
• A guide with strategies and examples of different ways to raise funds.

Fundraising can be very effective - One volunteer raised $4,500 for her Africa trip last summer! The package will be sent out upon request after volunteers have registered. Please Carolyn de Lang at carolyn@blytheducation.com for details.
