Review for Scholarship For Advanced Guyanese Education, Los Angeles, CA, USA
This organization fills a huge gap in one of the poorest, yet forgotten, countries in the Caribbean and South America. SAGE looks for Guyanese students with limited means but who are dedicated to developing the country. By providing Guyanese students with scholarships to the university and asking that they stay in the country after they graduate, this organization aims to help develop the country from the ground up. Most importantly, I like that this organization approaches development through education of the people who live there, rather than bringing in outsiders. Through education, development is much more sustainable.
