One can point out that the majority of the students were repeating a year and that they made it through this school year thanks to the aid given by Cercle Social. We are committed to continue our action for the 2011-2012 school years by allowing the students meeting the minimum requirements to be readmitted into the program. The objective is to provide 20 students with paid tuition and the necessary school supplies. Such support will cost $840 to Cercle Social. The estimations and calculations are based on the expenses of the previous school year and on the tuition costs of public schools in Benin. In addition to this amount, there are additional costs for travel and communication of the Cotonou team that amount to $100, making a total of $940. The funds are obtained through the subscriptions of members of Cercle Social and through the people of goodwill dedicated to participate in this education project for everyone in Benin. We urge you very much to be generous so that the 2011-2012 school year continues to be successful for the chosen students.
