We're Teaming with a Davis UWC Scholar

Another exciting component of HFL is the number of amazing people with whom we get the opportunity to correspond.  Recently we heard from Ofhani Shaun Mandiwana, a young man from Mapate in the Limpopo Province of South Africa who was invited to participate in the Davis United World College Scholars Program http://www.davisuwcscholars.org/scholars. The Davis UWCS Program is the largest international, undergraduate scholarship program in the world.

Ofhani is currently studying at the College of Idaho on a Davis scholarship and has taken a keen interest in HFL. He tells us that, "The College of Idaho has been given the unique opportunity to participate in the Kathryn Wasserman Davis 100 Projects for Peace initiative…. This invitation is extended only to undergraduate students at colleges who host international students under the Davis United World College Scholars Program….(It) provides opportunities for students to initiate grassroots development projects in the United States or abroad.”

We are thrilled that Ofhani is willing to spend his precious time conceiving of and writing a proposal for the Projects for Peace initiative that, if accepted, will benefit one of HFL’s charities. We will spend the next few months advising Ofhani as to the best methods for executing his ideas and assisting him in creating a workable budget.

We will keep you posted on the project Ofhani develops and, of course, we will keep you informed of his progress.

We would encourage all of our HFL followers to design your own creative method of raising money for your favorite ‘HFL Cause’. We would be happy to assist you!
