QMC Update on Lesotho

The highlight of our Zoom meeting on Thursday was a report from Linda and Roger Gorham, board members of Qholaqhoe Mountain Connections (QMC), which we have been helping fund since 2014.

QMC operates in a poor and remote area of the southern African country of Lesotho. It provides scholarships to 63 students in high school, and eight at the National University of Lesotho. Two QMC-sponsored college students graduated last September with bachelor's degrees, one in accounting/economics and the other in social work.

QMC also funds supplies for the high school, and food support. 

Linda Gorham is a longtime QMC board member who has often spoken to our club. Roger joined the board more recently. They are both retired educators and former Peace Corps volunteers. Roger is a former Siena College professor and superintendent of the Ballston Spa School District.
