UMW fund supports African women
The United Methodist Women’s group of Los Altos has established an African Student Education Fund. The fund resulted from the group’s support of two African students, Loice Nyauchi and Lydia Nabale, over the past two years. Both are scheduled to graduate this spring.
“We have established this ongoing African Student Education Fund to help other students like Loice and Lydia,” who intend to use their education in Africa, UMW member Janet Lull said. “Funds will be sent directly to the school, not to the student.”
Donations to this fund are tax deductible and can be sent to UMW/African Student Education Fund, Los Altos United Methodist Church, 655 Magdelena Ave., Los Altos 94024. For more information, e-mail janlull@msn.com.
