Village Coursework in Oloshoi-bor






The MWEEP USA board has continued to meet monthly. We are now waiting for the letter of determination from the IRS so we can be an offical non-profit.

We have had severl fundraising "dinners in" and were able to send off half of the fee for the coursework to Project Baobab. We now are continuing to set up fundraising events so we will be able to wire money for the second half of the course and to pay for the local MWEEP fees for coursework lunch, child care and transportation. By August we will need to wire $2000.00 for the last term fees to the boarding schools where the girls attend.

The Project Baobab cousework in the village began on Saturday, June 14th. There were 29 women in attendance. This first session "was about a vision and it was so interesting" according to Christine Pulei who is a MWEEP Kenya member and is managing this project. This coursework will continue for 24 weeks with a few breaks.

On December 6th they have scheduled the graduation ceremony for the coursework. Jon and Loanna Day plan to be in attendance to honor their work and to hear the women present their business plans. draft 10:12:00 AM by loanna Delete
