We have some fun events this summer that give you an opportunity to support Teach with Africa and our educational programs. These include the annual Run for Teachers.

See the Teach with Africa special events page and bookmark it so that you can keep up-to-date on the latest happenings.

Mandy Edwards was an incredible young woman, who had a smile that could light up a room and lift people's spirits. She died on November 15th, 2008 at the age of 17 in a head-on vehicle accident.

Her biggest dream was to eventually travel to Africa as a volunteer teacher. She had been accepted to Farmington College where she intended to become an elementary school teacher.

You can contribute to the Mandy Edwards Scholarship Fund through the Teach with Africa website and honor Mandy's wish to help educate African students.

See the 2010 Summer Project page for details.

See 4 photos of the 2010 Gala Event posted in the San Francisco Chronicle from a link on the 2010 Event page.

Here's an interesting article in the San Francisco Examiner highlighting Margie's efforts to help educate students in South African communities.

We are thrilled to announce this significant grant that has been accomplished through the diligence of our Rotary International friends in South Africa (Newlands), especially Janey Ball, and the US (Foster City), especially Larry Schlenoff. Deepest thanks and congratulations on this achievement that enriches the relationships between our countries, Teach with Africa, and the LEAP Schools.

Currently, two Teach with Africa Fellows working in South Africa in the 2009 program have Randy Pausch Fellowships. This is the formal announcement of the association of Electronis Arts and Teach with Africa through the Randy Pausch Fellowships.

Here are some photos of the fundraiser in the San Francisco Chronicle. And here's a nice article in California Coast Parent magazine about Teach with Africa.

You can read Margie's report of her and Larry's recent trip to the three (yes, three!) LEAP schools, in case you didn't receive the latest email newsletter (April 7). And you can view some of Larry's photos.
