 Scholarships for children

in Salesian Schools in Africa

Dear Salesian Past Pupils, family and friends,

Over the past 5 years, thanks to your generosity, we have provided water and electricity to schools, helped children who had lost their parents to HIV/AIDS, and saved 20,000 children from death from malaria, all in Liberia.

For this year's Appeal, we want to give personal scholarships to cover tuition and in some cases also boarding fees to 90 needy children and students in Salesian schools in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria.

Costs per child range from £80 per annum tuition fee in a primary school in Liberia, to £350 per student annual boarding fees in the secondary Technical School in Nigeria. We would receive individual reports on the academic performance of students during their scholarship.

Any donation would be welcome. But could you, or your family and friends donate the annual fee for one of these young people to receive a year's education? Our target is to raise the £13,500 needed for scholarships by March 2008.

Please give your donation to Past Pupil Associations in Battersea, Blaisdon, Cowley, Farnborough or Shrigley, or make out cheques to "Salesians of Don Bosco UK" and send to -
