Notes from the Field

MDF-BK Kids Enjoying the party by Dancing at the Fall 2011 Eid Milan Party

As another school year has begun, the students enrolled in the Marshall Direct Fund schools are settling in for another academic year. We are delighted to announce that we have maintained a great retention rate for both students and staff. We are constantly streamlining processes and protocol for support and reporting between the Pakistani & United States staff.

Recently the students were taking part in the Eid Milan party, an important holiday for the Muslim population.  For the holiday the students dress up in vibrant colored outfits and celebrate with food and music.

Later this the month the students will be taking their midterm examinations. Please join us in wishing every student good luck on their exams!

Remember, a little bit goes a long way for these children. Your donations have made this work possible. With your contributions we have been able to provide things like: new uniforms with a warm sweater and a pair of shoes, high quality books for an entire school, tuition and nutritional meals throughout the school year. Thank you MDF donors.
