PEO Sisterhood values
the gift of education
The PEO Sisterhood, a chap-
ter of which is in Canadian, is con-
cerned with education,
particularly the education of
women. The organization's maga-
zine recently printed the follow-
ing article by Marilyn Fell,
Chairman of the P E.O, Interna-
tional Peace Scholarship, and one
of its recipients.
Portions of the article follow:
The following story about one
of our IPS students Is truly amaz-
ing and inspiring in every way,
primarily because of the profound
perseverance of one of the schol-
arship recipients, Ennette
Tawain. She is presently a
33-year old graduate student
working on a master's degree in
international development at
Clark University in Worcester,
Massachusetts.
While in Cameroon in Africa,
her native country, she was em-
ployed by the Heifer Project In-
ternational (HPI) for three years
before coming to the United
States to continue her work with
the project at the Heifer Project
Farm in Massachusetts.
Based in Little Rock. HPI
combats hunger, alleviates pov-
erty and restore* the environ-
ment by providing appropriate
livestock, training and related
services to small scale farmers
world wide. The projects’ key con-
cept is that each recipient must
pass on to others some of the off-
spring of the farm animals they
receive. This principle is called
“passing on the gift.” Since 1944,
when HPI first shipped cows to
impoverished families, more than
four million farm families on five
continents have been helped.
Ennette was born into a peas-
ant farm family of seven with sub-
sistence agriculture as the only
means of survjval. It was a culture
that does not encourage female
education, so schooling for her
was always a severe problem. She
says that God's guidance, coupled
with a determination and hard
work on her part allowed her to
make it to the level at which she
finds herself today.
In spite of the handicaps of lit-
tle education expected for girls,
she went through a five-year sec-
ondary education and a two-year
high school. All this time she was
selling vegetables in the local
markets each weekend and dur-
ing school breaks. This way she
generated money to pay her
school fees and books. “This was
life for me—each vacation or
some kind of break, selling
vegetables."
After she completed high
school her parents still wanted
her to stop and get married. This
brought so much tension because
she had made up her mind to “dis-
respect" (“According to African
tradition, I was disrespecting my
parents”) She took two years
again to raise some money
through selling more vegetables
and then traveled to another
West Africa country by road to
look for admission into a college.
She was successful and after six
years went back home with a de-
gree in animal health and
production.
She say8,The significance of
female education has become part
of me. 1 project it everywhere I
go, especially in the rural commu-
nities, without any barriers of re-
ligion, culture or social standing. I
love my work, which has, for the
past years, been part of my daily
activities. I am a devoted Chris-
tian and want to impact changes
and watch them happen in lives
that felt they had reached the end
of their existence."
