The first round of interviews for this scholarship have now closed and an announcement is pending.
I would like to thank the countless hours put in by the organising committee involved with the Rotary Club of Alice Springs Mbantua and the work of local networks to connect potential recipients to the scholarship process. Much is written nationally about the importance of early childhood education. In implementing this project I learned significantly about the political, policy, organisational and educational contexts so important to delivering a project of this kind. Whilst the actual outcomes of this project are yet to be seen I can’t say enough my appreciation for the voluntary commitment of organisers and the commitment of those connecting potential recipients.
As stated in my first post…
If you live in Alice Springs, consider playing a part by identifying potential scholarship recipients. The next selection round is envisaged for early 2010. Please refer to the pamphlet for Alice Springs residents.
If you live outside of Alice Springs, you can assist by approaching local Rotary clubs and potential funding sources to secure scholarship sponsors. Please contact the project coordinator to discuss. The pamphlet for potential sponsors can assist as an information guide.
