My Nonprofit Reviews

I'm proud to say that I have been involved with Educational Pathways International since its very early days. During that time I have reviewed EPI scholarship applications and more recently have financially supported two EPI scholarships. In fact, just this week my husband and I received a letter of appreciation from the young man whose scholarship we are financing at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in Ghana. His academic success coupled with the deep appreciation he expressed for our financial support brought tears to my eyes along with a resolve to fund more scholarships. Our decision to fund scholarship applications grew out of the high regard we have for the founders of EPI, Sara and Leonard Lafrance, and the vision, integrity and oversight they give to the organization. Being involved with EPI has been and continues to be a most meaningful, life-changing experience for me.

As a reviewer of scholarship applications, I have been involved with EPI since its beginning. It is with great pride that I have watched and participated in the development and growth of this fine organization. This summer when EPI student James Omane visited the Foundation headquarters in Incline Village, NV, USA; he gave a very fine public presentation about EPI and Ghana at the local public library. His extremely articulate and insightful presentation was most enthusiastically received. Meeting him and hearing his talk made me so proud of this young man and EPI's growing importance and influence in Ghana. It is a great privilege to be a part of this outstanding educational organization and to work with its dedicated founders, Sara and Leonard Lafrance.

Serving as a reviewer of scholarship applications for Educational Pathways International has been one of the most profoundly moving and worthwhile experiences of my life. In just a few short years, EPI has become a beacon of hope to a growing number of Ghana's brilliant, but needy, young people. I feel deeply privileged to have been able to have played a small role in this educational effort and to know that EPI scholarships are helping to shape the future leaders of Ghana and Africa.
