New Scholarship for MaryJoy
We asked Leah if she would serve as our volunteer liaison in the Philippines and find potential candidates for a scholarship as a nonprofit. In 2015, Leah found three potential candidates.
After reviewing three women’s applications, we selected Maryjoy Supang, an 18-year-old woman from the Zamboaga Peninsula and a member of the indigenous Subanon.
New Scholarship for Azmina
When I was a professor of journalism in the public interest at Allegheny College, my colleague, Jolie, was raising funds for a former student. Jolie taught political science courses at the Asian University for Women in Chittagong, Bangladesh, before joining the faculty at Allegheny. I mentioned our nonprofit to her and told her we might be in a position to offer her former student, Azmina, some scholarship support.
