We have heard from our contact in Africa, Liz Silakan, that both Angeline and Naserian have taken their final exams and are waiting to hear the results. This is exciting news. They will be the first 2 girls that MEET has helped to graduate from secondary school. We wish both girls a bright shiny future. This would not have been possible for either girl without MEET’s support.

Liz also informed us that 3 new girls are seeking MEETs support for the next school year which will begin in January. The MEET board will review these girls qualifications, and hopefully we can support them in 2019 with their education goals.

If all 3 girls are accepted, this will mean that MEET will be supporting 7 girls. Last year we supported 6 girls. Your support is needed more than ever. Just $5 a month can make a huge difference to our budget. For the price of a cup of coffee, you can make a huge difference in a Maasai girl’s life. The website now makes it possible to do monthly donations through PayPal which doesn’t charge a transaction fee.

Please make MEET a part of your New Year’s Resolution. Helping young girls in Africa to receive an education is a great way to start the New Year. Most of us take a 12 year education for granted, but this is not the case in Kenya. Getting a secondary education in grades 9-12 is not free in Kenya. Many Maasai families need assistance to make this a reality for their daughters.

Thanks again and Happy New Year. All of us here at MEET wish you a rewarding and happy 2019.
