The Universities at Shady Grove (USG) held a Celebration of Scholarships last week. As part of the celebration, DSFederal Chairwoman Sophia Parker was invited to take part in a conversation with USG Executive Director Anne Khademian and DSF-IDEA Foundation Scholarship Recipient Yasmeen Annan-Ahmed. The trio spoke before an audience on how scholarships change lives.

With the contributions from the DSFederal IDEA Foundation, the Amitofo Care Centre has begun construction on a brand new orphanage and a well to provide a safe home for orphans and drinking water for communities in Madagascar.
