Last Chance to Support Harambee Scholarships in 2012
Dear Friends and Supporters,
What could be more important in the life of a young person from a low-income urban community than a growing relationship with Christ, a network of caring adults, and a quality education?
Harambee Christian School provides an opportunity for students to grow up with all of these important assets.
90% of Harambee students are low-income according to federal poverty guidelines. But these young people are soaring above their peers in terms of their academic achievement.
Such opportunity comes with a cost. School staff pay that cost day in and day out as they sacrificially nurture, discipline and instruct their students. Volunteer tutors and mentors give graciously of their time and energy. And generous donors give financially to make Harambee possible.
Over the past three years, Harambee has grown to make a greater impact in the lives of students - expanding from Fifth Grade to Eighth Grade and making the transition to a year round calendar to minimize learning loss that takes place during the summer. These advances are paying huge dividends in the lives of many young people.
As 2012 comes to a close, Harambee needs your support to sustain the important work in the lives of students.
Please consider making an investment in the future of a young person.
With Deepest Gratitude,
Alex Steinman
Education Director
Principal of Harambee Christian School
A full scholarship costs $5,760 per student, each year.
