First students are ready to start

The first group of 6 or 7 students we selected by tests and interviews from the group of 27 who qualified in January, are ready to start their studies the coming semester.
To make this possible we had to change our plans slightly.
  • We will work autonomously and found our own Dutch Foundation, while a member of the Kaykok Foundation will become our expert advisor. This construction will enable us to work more directly and to apply in the Netherlands for the status of ANBI, by the fiscal authorities recognized non-profit organization. We still will profit from the knowledge and experience of the Kaykok Foundation via our advisor.
  • We will bring down the costs per student by financing the school fees for everybody but to look for housing with family and friends in Les Cayes, so that we have only to pay for the housing of those who do not have family or friends to stay with. And when we can afford it we will supply everybody with a small allowance for food
At this stage we still fail the money for the food-allowance for the students but we are optimistic to get this also done by the beginning of next semester. Any help is wellcome!
