10 New Scholarships for Uganda

The LBW Trust Board resolved last month to grant 10 new scholarships to students in the village of Namwendwa, Uganda.

We are doing this in conjunction with One Village, an NGO that works in developing communities to help them achieve their long-term goals.

One Village coordinator Nikki Lovell, who addressed the LBW Trust Annual Dinner earlier in the year, spoke about the delight the news would bring to the prospective students and the One Village committee in Uganda.

The positions will be 6 scholarships in a two year teaching program and 4 two year technical trade scholarships starting early 2012, with 6 girls and 4 boys to be selected.

This brings to 39 the number of students that the LBW Trust is supporting through One Village in Uganda.
