2009 - 2004 SCHOLAR LYCHOU KOUAI FUNDRAISING FOR HABITAL FOR HUMANITY GLOBAL VILLAGE CHALLENGE Click on: www.justgiving.co.uk/lychoukouai Contact: lychou.kouai@temple.edu I am one of the 2004 AAWC scholarship recipent and attended Temple University's College of Engineering. I was able to get an intercompany exchange and have been living in London for a year now. The company I am working for is a construction cost management company called Currie & Brown, ltd. The purpose of this email is to ask if Asian American Women's Coalition will support me in my Habitat for Humanity Global Village Challenge. From November 14th to the 27th, I will be a part of a group in Bangladesh building a house for a family. There are basically two parts to this challenge, the first which is raising the fund and the second which is taking part in building the house. I am really excited about this opportunity and am reaching out to AAWC once again in hopes they will support me. Below is a link with a short description of this event. Thank you for taking the time to read this email. Sincerely, LyChou ********************************************************************************* 2005 - HARVARD UNIVERSITY - TUITION FREE PROGRAM Harvard University announced over the weekend that from now on undergraduate students from low-income families will pay no tuition. In making the announcement, Harvard's president Lawrence H. Summers said, "When only 10 percent of the students in Elite higher education come from families in lower half of the income distribution, we are not doing enough. We are not doing enough in bringing elite higher education to the lower half of the income distribution." If you know of a family earning less than $40,000 a year with an honor student graduating from high school soon, Harvard University wants to pay the tuition. The prestigious university recently announced that from now on undergraduate students from low-income families can go to Harvard for free...no tuition and no student loans! To find out more about Harvard offering free tuition for families making less than $40,000 a year visit Harvard's financial aid website at: www.fao.fas.harvard.edu or call the school's financial aid office at (617) 495-1581. ********************************************************************************* 2005 - HURRICANE KATRINA AID TO VIETNAMESE IN MISSISSIPPI At last night's general meeting of AAWC, motion was approved by the board to support an ethnic organization located in Mississippi that was recently highlighted in the Philadelphia Inquirer. This organization is helping the Vietnamese population that have been displaced by Hurricane Katrina.

PCDC c/o AAWC 301-305 North 9th Street Philadelphia, PA 19107 In November, AAWC will forward a combined check to the organization to help with their general relief efforts. Thank you for your continuing support with so many families in need. ********************************************************************************* 2004 - SUPPORT FUND FOR LIBRARY CHILD An open forum meeting was held on Wednesday night (2/11/04) at the Independence Branch Library to discuss the tragic incident that occurred on Sunday in which a school age child was attacked when using the rest room. Purpose of the meeting was to discuss ways on how to improve library security, ways on how children can improve their own personal security, and how to communicate to the Chinatown community that measures have been taken to improve the facility so that children can return to the Independence Branch Library. Jennifer Chang, manager of the Independence Branch Library, made a suggestion to the concerned community leaders, citizens, and organizations about raising funds for use by the immediate family of the young Asian student that was involved in the attack. Jennifer very much wants the young student to regain her confidence and resume coming to the library to make use of the facilities (computers, books, and reference materials). A very special fund has been established with the cooperation of the Asian Bank. If you would like to make a monetary donation, you can either make a direct deposit at the Asian Bank or send your contribution to the following address: Asian Bank 1008 Arch Street Philadelphia, PA 19107 Reference person at the Asian Bank is Linda Ackerman. Please indicate that the contribution should be deposited to this account: "ASIAN BANK - THE SUPPORT FUND". The monies collected in this special fund will be used exclusively by the family of the victim. Note: since the donations are going directly to the victim's family, contributions are non-tax deductible. Thank you for your generosity and kindness in support of our young people in times of need. ********************************************************************************* |
