Foundation Update

Dear YAHS Peer Coordinators,

As you may be aware the OYU Foundation has launched an appeal to raise $10,000. These funds will enable two senior students to receive a Citizenship Scholarship.?

This is a new initiative and one that we believe will have a lasting benefit not only for the recipients but also for the communities in which they will be working and living.?

Our world needs good citizens and YAHS is blessed to have had many pass through its gates, as well as, having some amazing young people who have already demonstrated outstanding citizenship qualities.? These scholarships will acknowledge and benefit these students.

To be brutally honest, thus far donations to the crowd funding appeal have been very slow.?In fact, only 6 alumni members have contributed (and notably from only 5 peer groups – 1950, 1958,1959,1962 & 1969).?

So, we need your help!? Can I therefore I please ask that you rally the members of your peer group to donate to this worthwhile appeal? ?

I have also included (see below) some further information which? is on our website but feel free to use all or some of it to communicate the worthiness of this appeal to your peer group members. ?

I am also available should you require any further information and/or provide useful feedback regarding the Foundation and OYU activities. Email me on ()? ? ? ?

Thank you for the time and effort that you put into ensuring that your peer group remain connected. ? ?

Kind regards,

Erin Draper
