Bursary Awards News – February 2014
In January the Trustees made awards to three young people in our provincial area – Jessica Ebo (£350) who is going to Uganda for 5 weeks to help teach English to orphans and to help build a hostel to provide accommodation for them; Joshua Wood (£350) who is also going for 5 weeks but to Kenya to help build much needed classrooms for local children and Ann-Marie Fraine (£1300) who is going for 12 months to Uganda to teach English to secondary school children.
We send them our best wishes for what will be a challenging time but a life changing opportunity and look forward to hearing from them. A previous recipient commented, “The young children taught me how life is a gift and a privilege, and that we have so much to rejoice and be thankful for, despite what life may send our way”.
We will in coming months be making awards to the many young people from our area who will in the summer be going to Lourdes with the Archdiocesan Pilgrimage to help look after the sick.
If you know young Catholic people, aged between 16-25, who are undertaking voluntary work to support others then encourage them to apply for a grant towards their costs.
