Helping to Educate Girls in the Commonwealth
The Commonwealth Countries' League Education Fund encourages the advancement of women through the secondary education of girls. Nearly 2000 bright but needy girls have now been given the opportunity to complete their education within their own countries.Without such support the future for many would have been bleak - some are AIDS orphants, other come from families struggling to keep themselves and with little to spare for educational needs,yet others are from cultures where boys are given priority.If you like to help further please send the donations to The Hon.Treasure,CCL education Fund,101 Corringham Road,London NW11 7DL.
