Scholarship Interviews

Judy Slater recently visited and interviewed other students with Benedict Nagbe, Principal of ELWA Academy and EMA+USA Scholarship board member. We hope that you can get an idea of their struggle just to survive, their loss and grief, and of their deep desire for an education, and to help their country.


Mark Nyemah, doubly promoted to 6th grade at Bishop Matthew Norwood School, wants to be an army general.



Lawson Wonnah, 10th grader at Carver Mission School, wants to be a doctor. He and 5 siblings are grieving the loss of both parents. They have been taken in by Martha Nuan, a very fine Christian woman.



Frederick Montgomery, 10th grader at Bishop Matthew Norwood School, wants to be a civil engineer.



David Dorado, 6th grader at ELWA Academy, wants to be a lawyer, deeply grieving the loss of his father.



Charles Dixon, 9th grader at ELWA Academy, wants to be a doctor



Henrietta Zenneh, 5th grader at ELWA Academy, wants to be a doctor like her sister who passed away.



Grace Nyancie, 8th grader at ELWA Academy, wants to be president.



Ramsey B. Zeon, III, 3rd grader at Ford Madden Christian Academy, (F.M.C.A.),wants to be a doctor.



Nanee Goffa, 4th grader at Christian Children's Community School, wants to become a medical doctor.



Pauline White, 2nd grader at Carver Mission School, wants to be a teacher.




The need is great, and to support students needing scholarships, we need at least $10,000 by the end of the year. School costs range between $100-$300 for one student to attend school for a year, a small price for a huge impact on not only a young person, but also the country as a whole. Can you help us make a difference with a tax-deductible gift?
