Linda Gorham was our speaker Thursday, as often before, talking about Qholaqhoe Mountain Connections (QMC) in the southern African country of Lesotho. The photo above is of students at Qholoqhoe High School receiving supplies from its Emergency Food Fund, which QMC helps support.
QMC's main focus in recent years has been providing scholarships for students in this remote rural and mountainous place to attend three high schools, and for some to attend college out of the area. Two of the latter will graduate from Lesotho Agricultural College in September, while others attend the National University of Lesotho.
But QMC will be winding down its operations over the next few years. Linda said she was "sad but grateful."
Malta Sunrise Rotary has an additional, unrelated African connection in members' ongoing support for AOET Uganda, which has strong support in the Saratoga region.
