Presentation talking points

I Introduction

II video
Pictures of students who have scholarships and a brief history about the living conditions in CV.

III Problem
Hundreds of children struggling in Cape Verde that need financial support to get an education. The government will offer no help on the matter. So the children rely on others to intervene

IV Solution
The Ashby Foundation provides humanitarian assistance to deserving individuals in the form of educational scholarships, employment training and start-up business assistance.

V Budget and Capabilities
The donation that is hoped for is $1 million worth of supplies. Each year the Ashby Foundation provides scholarships to keep more than 350 students in school and completing their educations. To date more the 1200 annual scholarships have been provided to deserving students on six of the Cape Verde islands. The students that receive scholarships from the Ashby Foundation provide community service hours as a way to "repay" these scholarships. Over the past four years, students have contributed more than 150,000 community service hours across six different islands.
