We have been involved with African Vision Malawi\u00a0 (AVM) since 2016 as proud\u00a0 sponsors of a young woman named Grace. She is from the M\u2019bang\u2019ombe village in the Lilongwe district of Malawi and is soon to become 18 in July 2021. Having raised awareness of Grace through initiatives such as inviting AVM to speak to a garden full of members and friends,\u00a0 it was possible to sponsor Grace through her education at Namitete Secondary school.\u00a0 A total of \u00a31, 100 was put towards 4 years of schooling.\u00a0 Grace has been keeping in touch lately with letters and photos telling us about her progress in school.\u00a0 She aspires to be a mechanical engineer\u00a0 by\u00a0 attending\u00a0 a university\u00a0 to\u00a0 achieve a qualification in this area.\u00a0 Sadly,\u00a0 there has been some disruption to her education due to COVID- 19 as well as some technical issues preventing her from taking some of her exams but she remains resolute and wants to continue with her education.\u00a0 The Club recently sent her \u00a380 to buy a travel case and smart phone which she has received and sent us photos of the items!\u00a0 We are\u00a0 looking into ways we can continue to support Grace and we wish her all the best in her future studies.<\/p>\n<p>More information about African Vision Malawi can be found here: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.africanvision.org.uk\/\">http:\/\/www.africanvision.org.uk\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SI Epsom and District Club is committed to educating, empowering and enabling women in the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":771,"featured_media":5356,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5352","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-club-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Amazing Grace! | News | Blog | Events | Women inspiring action, transforming lives | SI Epsom &amp; Disrtrict<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Women inspiring action, transforming lives : Blog &amp; News : Amazing Grace! : Keep up to date with the latest news, articles and events from the Soroptimists of Women inspiring action, transforming lives .
