Mariam Tutoring Center
We had another successful semester at Mariam Church Tutoring Center in DC. We have committed to volunteer as tutors at their Saturday Program. All the tutors have a higher education degree, tutoring in Science, Mathematics, English, and Reading Comprehension. Most of the learning is during homework help time, then they have a 45 minute break and snack time, which the parents organize.

There Can Only Be One
The team for The Ethiopian Foundation will be choosing the new scholarship recipient on Saturday, June 23, 2012. This will be our second year of candidates who wrote beautiful and inspiring personal letters with high level GPA's. This will be no easy task, but there can only be one.
I have written a letter to inform all candidates who will not be approved. It will have to be delicate but encouraging to other great available opportunities. I have been rejected a few times from academic programs and scholarships. So I think I know what would be the "needed" thing to say. If they are as ambitious as I was, they will not give up that easily.
For the recipient who is chosen, we will set up a meeting to meet them and their family. I don't think this is done with most foundations. It will be another exciting time. We are also working on more funding. If you want to give, you may send a check or money order to The Ethiopian Foundation P.O. Box 2331, Fairfax, VA 22031.
Thanks for your continued support. We will include you on our Wall of Contributors to the Right of this page, unless otherwise requested.
