Generous friends and family, warm greeting from Zambia! I am reaching out to gather your support for two intelligent and amazing girls from Masamba, my host community here in Zambia. Both Rhoda and Sarah Bwalya are members of my host family who have the potential to be great female leaders in Zambia. They are driven young women with the charisma and determination required to finish their education and do great things with their lives. Unfortunately, the education system is stacked against female students and they need the support from generous people like yourselves to see their educational aspirations come to fruition. If you are able to help support them, all donations would be greatly appreciated by myself, Sarah, Rhoda and the entire Masamba community.

Thank you,
Amanda Briggs
