Planning for another trip
Pavla is planning her 10th trip to Cameroon in May 2009. She will be in Cameroon for about seven weeks and will travel alone again. Thanks to your kindness and generosity, her ticket is already paid for. Her goal is to raise $10,000 for the trip. So far, we have $2,500.
During her trip, she wants to purchase basic school supplies for many students and some science lab equipment, depending on available funds. In addition, Pavla will work with our coordinators in Cameroon to plan concrete steps for building of our Educare-Africa and Community Center in Tatum and fundraising in Cameroon. She also plans to assist many students with essential school related needs, meet with parents and students to discuss their current situation, check report cards and choose eligible students for assistance in 2009/10 academic year. Two Wellesley Book Awards will be given to the two best female science students from two different schools in rural Cameroon. Pavla also plans to visit a bakery in Bangante, owned by one of her former students and a school in the Southwest Region, where one of her former students now teaches.
