Hazel has kept club fully informed of their progress with letters, photos and letters from the two girls. One sister who always dreamt of becoming a policewoman has a realised her dream, recently joining the Uganda Police Force and her sister now runs her own hairdressing business\u00a0and works part time in her aunt\u2019s pharmacy.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1170&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]SI Tamworth are delighted and proud of the girls success and of the Bursary\u00a0which is an on-going project and definitely fulfils the aims of Soroptimism.<\/p>\n<p>Horace, who comes from the same tribe as the sisters, talked about how he was born into a very poor family. His father died when he was 9 years old and he then lived with his grandmother and sister. He told how his grandmother\u2019s dress was used as blanket and food was very scarce. They had to rely on other families to share food. He met Hazel in 1998 who paid for his educational fees and then through sponsorship paid for his University Tuition.<\/p>\n<p>Club members were very moved by the account and very interested to hear about the importance and appreciation of the support that comes from individuals and organisations like their own club.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fundraising 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>SI member Millie made and sold very many of her gorgeous bags to raise money for the bursary fund.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1171&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]L-R Millie Horton,Sue Powell and Joan Twomlow\u00a0 at the Millie bag stall.
