Story

The Wyn Cornish Awards were inspired by Missionary Teacher Wyn Cornish.

The Oxford Friends of Hope & Faith School offer WCA bursaries for tertiary level education to pupils completing their school education to Grade 12 and teachers seeking to enhance their qualifications.  The awards cover fees, laptops, accommodation, exams, travel &/or substistance living.

WCA holders come from impoverished families with little or no financial support & no previous tertiary level experience.

The PO position is currently held by Cheelo Sichilo, an inspiring young teacher with a talent for mentoring Award holders.

The PO role supports the Oxford Friends by managing the Awards in Zambia including applications, mentoring, liaison with Colleges & payment of fees. 

WCA holders are encouraged to visit Hope & Faith School to motivate younger school students.

The budget includes salary, internet/wifi, travel & stationary allowances.  She has been provided with a mobile phone and laptop.
