Educational Scholarships
Every day, millions of American children wake up, eat breakfast, get dressed, and hop on a bus, ready to start another day of school in America. They know that Monday through Friday, means routine, homework, school lunches, and after school play. It's understood, that in the United States, most kids will fill their days, weeks and months with a free, public school, guaranteed education.
As many of you know, that just isn't the case in many parts of the world, including Ecuador. During our visit to Cotacachi, we saw first hand, many, many children, working to support their families by selling bracelets, purses, and food. Several help out with family livestock, doing whatever they can to earn money to support the families financially.
In Ecuador, an education, is not a guaranteed protected right due to the harsh economic environment many families find themselves facing.
That is why Land Of The Sun Foundation, with your help, has created The Land Of The Sun Scholarship Fund, to benefit the youth of Ecuador. It is our goal provide scholarships to those desiring and needing financial assistance to attend school at the primary, secondary or college level.
Currently, Land Of The Sun Foundation, through your generosity, is providing scholarship assistance to five students in Ecuador. Three of them are elementary school age children. Mauricio and Mercedes, whom you met at El Meson de las Flores, will be attending college at the Universidad de Otavalo thanks to one generous donor who contributed the first semester's tuition of $600 per person. As you know, one semester is just the beginning of a student's college academic experience!
We ask for your participation in the Land Of The Sun Scholarship program. We have many deserving children and young adults who both deserve and genuinely desire to shape not only their own futures, but the futures of their families for generations to come.
Your tax deductible contribution to the Land Of The Sun Foundation, will be placed in a specified fund account guaranteed to go toward tuition for these wonderful children and young adults in Ecuador.
