Hello 2012!

It is no understatement to say that 2011 was a tremendously successful inaugural year for Write Our Future. Our deepest thanks go to our many donors who helped us to raise the funds to feed more than 106 children at the No-ofisi Primary School and Jujurha Education Centre in the Eastern Cape.

In November 2011, WOF team members Brendan and Rebecca took a trip to the Eastern Cape to meet with the Bulungula Incubator (BI) staff and visit the school feeding program. It was incredibly special to see the faces of these happy, nourished children and our meetings with BI planted the seed for our 2012 initiative.

The 2011 year-end report has been sent to our donors. If you would like to receive a copy please email writeourfuture@gmail.com. We would be happy to send one to you!

Lastly, we'd like to introduce you to Asali Zintoyinto.


The Bulungula Incubator has created a scholarship program that will be supporting seven children from the Jujurha Education Centre from 1st grade through the completion of 12th grade. WOF has committed to raising the funds to see one of these scholars, Asali, through graduation. Full details will follow in a separate blog post. In the meantime, if you would like to donate to Asali's scholarship fund:

1. Visit the Bulungula Incubator's donation page here, and select that you would like to support education/ the scholarship fund. Donations can be made with any major credit card.
2. Email WOF at writeourfuture@gmail.com to let us know your donation amount for our records.

That's it! Two easy steps to help send Asali on her way.

With all that we accomplished together in 2011, who knows what we can achieve in 2012!
