Bega Kwa Bega’s largest collective project is the BKB Scholarship Program, changing lives through the gift of education. This year, your generous gifts supported 1,195 students in secondary school, 50 college and university students, as well as teacher training events and infrastructure construction that improved educational opportunities for all the students attending diocese schools. That’s quite a gift!
During visits to the diocese schools in July, every headmaster reported making progress toward performance goals. Several of the schools were recognized for improved student scores by regional government education officials.
In the next few weeks, our annual scholarship pledge process begins. Here’s what to watch for:
Many thanks to the members of the Scholarship & Education Committee, who plan and monitor this life changing area of our work together: Frank Mkocha, Pastor Jiskaka Lwila, Pastor Lusungu Msigwa, Ryan & Astine Bose, Virginia Altman, Dave & Sue Klevan, Dan McIntyre, Birdie & Ken Olson, Ginny Rudolph, Betty Wolf, Pastor Lynda Thompson (chair).
Asante,
Kirsten Levorson
Director of Bega Kwa Bega
