Donors match first $2,500 Matching Grant
A gift of $150 from Melecia Garcia Aug. 4, 2006 completed the first Matching Grant of $2,500 from Cavan Corporation of Kansas City, Missouri. Rory Reilly, president, has supported the Foundation for several years, providing scholarship grants to needy students, and actually increased his gift to $3,000. Our sincere thanks to Mr. Reilly for such a generous gesture to our deserving scholars. Among Cavan's first scholars is Frederick Rili, who will receive his master's degree in foreign service soon from Lyceum University. Frederick Rily is also the first Arizala Diplomacy Scholar.
Amb. Dolores Benavides Sale, who coordinates the above scholarship, was very proud to inform us that Lyceum University has offered Frederick a teaching position at the university. Frederick just recently sent us a report on his Impact Project (a requirement for MIF scholars), a cooperative bank, which is going well and has proved beneficial to the neighborhood in Barangay Rizal.
