For those of you who know my good friend from our Peace Corps time in Nicaragua, Terri Kempton, and even those who don't, I wanted to share this important fundraiser and hope you consider donating. Their sweet 5-year old daughter has just been diagnosed with childhood-onset Huntington's disease and very sadly it is terminal. They are trying to give their daughter as much joy and special experiences in the time she has left. Terri has helped tremendously to set up the Asla Foundation and get it to where it is today, and it's the least I can do to see if others can now help her. Please consider contributing. Thank you!

We have wonderful news about our students’ achievements during their 2019 academic year. We sponsored 89 students last year! We had four students graduate from college with their degrees in English, Nursing, Air Transit Control, and Agricultural Engineering!! We are excited to see where these young graduates end up.

All 10 scholarship students who graduated from high school are going on to university, an impressive achievement in and of itself. The 36 students who were in university are continuing this year, and the 15 students enrolled in high school are also continuing.

This year, because of the generosity of our terrific sponsors, we are able to give 42 new scholarships. In 2020 we are helping a total of 115 students attend school. Who would never have imagined this when the Nicaragua Scholarship Program began in 2001 with 20 students! Thank you to all our generous donors and sponsors!
