It’s a major milestone for us: thanks to your help the LBW Trust has just reached its 2010 goal of supporting 100 disadvantaged students in India, Pakistan, South Africa and now also Uganda.
In the first half of the year the LBW Trust has taken on the fees of 20 new students at the Prerana Nurture Merit college in Bangalore, India, where gifted and needy students are assisted in their chosen academic careers. We are looking forward to a September visit to Sydney from Piroja Mehta from the college.
We have also funded tertiary scholarships for ten students from the village of Namwendwa, Uganda; through our new partnership with the Australian-Ugandan NGO One Village. Our congratulations to the Ugandan students, including Helen Salaamu, Alex Issabirye, Pascal Mageni, Zakalia Semakula, Geoffrey Kawayo, Fred Wanala and Otala Awali. These students have now commenced studies in teaching. Alex Luddu and Julius Mbeeko are being trained in brick laying and Joshua Mugabe is doing a motor vehicle course.
They join our existing scholarship students at the Vikash Educational Trust in Orissa, India; at Namal College and SPADO (Sustainable Peace and Development Organisation) in Pakistan; and at various institutions in South Africa.

Well-known Australian war artist George Gittoes has most generously donated one of his paintings, ‘Two Dogs’, to The LBW Trust. ‘Two Dogs’ by Mr Gittoes will be auctioned by The LBW Trust to raise money for the support of our students. If you are interested in purchasing the painting, please call the LBW Trust on 0425 207 258
Mr Gittoes has also referred the Trust to the Sustainable Peace and Development Organization (SPADO) – an NGO in Peshawar in the North West Frontier Province of Pakistan, where he has extensive links and has visited often. After discussions with Mr Gittoes, the LBW Trust has agreed to educate young women from this troubled area as well as the Swat Valley

Ashes Dinner
The LBW Trust is grateful to our supporters Vinay Verma and Ron Holmes, who organised a great fun Ashes dinner on July 16 at Nilgiris in St Leonards, Sydney. We are also thankful for the support of Nilgiris’ highly acclaimed chef, Ajoy Joshi, who generously donated the superb food, service and venue for the evening.
Channel 9 broadcaster and former Australian opening batsman Michael Slater, was hilarious as the featured speaker, interviewed by LBW Trust Director, Mike Coward.
About 110 people – a packed house – attended the function, which raised over $7000 for the LBW Trust.

Our congratulations to Sukant Kumar Dash, a B. Tech student from JITM, Paralakhemundi in Orissa, India. He is an LBW Trust supported student who has topped his college across all seven of his chosen disciplines – a brilliant performance.
Likewise, congratulations are in order in South Africa for our student Abraham Mubvumbi. In recognition of his outstanding performance last semester, Abraham has been awarded an academic scholarship amounting to 10,000 Rand by the University of Kwa-Zulu-Natal. We’re very proud.
