ObstaComer Scholarship Update
Exciting News in 2024
I am excited and grateful to God for making this possible. I am celebrating with the CPI team that our first recipient of the ObstaComer Scholarship, Georgina is scheduled to complete Grade 12 this year in 2024. Time has gone by so fast that it feels Iike it was just yesterday that we removed her from the Zambian public school system and enrolled her into Malundu private in an effort to give her an opportunity to attain quality education.
It has taken a global village to make this happen and we want to extend a heartfelt thank to everyone that has supported us financially and thus enabling us to grant her a full scholarship during the last four years. Join us in celebrating Georgina’s last year in high school and in wishing her a bright future post secondary education.
Recent Updates on ObstaComer® Scholarship Recipients
ObstaComer Scholarship Awarded to Lister Sakala
This was the best Christmas present to have received the news that we had raised enough funds to sponsor one more Zambian orphan; removing her from public school and enrolling her into private School in hopes of giving her access to quality education. We couldn’t wait to contact Zambia and when we did, Lister’s response was just as emotional as ours with the exciting news on Christmas Day 2022. Lister Sakala, the fourth recipient of the ObstaComer® Scholarship for Zambian orphans passed entrance exams required for 10th grade admission into Malundu Private School in Kafue, Zambia.
She reported to class beginning January 16, 2023. Lister had dropped out of school before she was brought to New Beginnings Children's Village in Zambia. She wants to be a nurse when she grows up. To God be all the glory for opening the hearts of many generous donors that made this possible. We at CPI are excited for Lister, grateful for continued support and trusting that she, along with the other recipients will continue to excel in their studies.
