I am very sad to report that, as I type this final blog post, I am sitting in the airport, awaiting my flight from Dubai to London and finally on to North Carolina. While I am anxious to once again see my friends and family, leaving Zanzibar this morning was terribly difficult, as I'm not sure when I will again get to see my new friends - perhaps not for several years, if at all.

S4Si's 2010 Scholars!
Hampton and Alison have selected the 2010 S4Si scholars!! After weeks of application reading, interviews, home visits, and even a few tears, we have finally decided upon 8 young women who are academically excellent, passionate about their futurse and their community and in need of the four-year assistance. We are so proud of what they have already accomplished and cannot wait to witness what they will achieve in their final four years of secondary school and beyond. Here are our brief introductions of our new S4Si scholars:

Interviews!!
Hampton, Nida and I have finally finished all of our interviews! We interviewed so many girls (probably too many, in hindsight), and we met some incredible individuals. We’re now in the process of rereading applications, re-watching interviews, and discussing all of the applicants. It’s been interesting; there are definitely some young women who stand out. There are those who seem to desperately need the scholarship who also perform extraordinarily at school and who obviously worked very hard on their applications and preparing for their interviews.
