We have a number of young people in the orphanages who are reaching the age and have earned the grades to qualify them to attend a trade school or college. Peggy Gurrad is coordinating the Higher Education Sponsorship program. Please e-mail her at peggy@gurrad.com if you'd like to sponsor one of these bright young people. New sponsors will get an information sheet and photo of the young person they'll be sponsoring, as soon as they are available. School reports can also be sent as time goes along. Tuition Fees for Higher Education Fees will vary, depending on the type of college or trade school attended. Below are some specific young people seeking sponsorship. Students Seeking Sponsorships We’re working on a project with Holt International, to make it possible for a young woman who grew up in the orphanage in NanChang to attend college. She is attending JiangXi Normal University. The cost for FNU, attending JiangXi Normal University; including tuition, books and housing is US $1041 per year. It looks like we're going to have up to 16 additional candidates for higher education during the Spring of 2004. We'll keep you posted here and on the Orphanage Requests page as information becomes available. |

PZH,
who grew up in the orphanage in Guixi, has a dream to go to school and
become a hair dresser. Recently, he wrote, "Thank you so much
for your support. I promise to study even harder now, because of
you."
One of his teachers wrote, "PZH's favorite subject is Math. In his free time, he likes to play basketball and ping-pong. He's a group leader and receives praise, encouragement and awards from his teachers. He is out-going, active and does well in group activities." |
