<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">Greetings,<br><br>I am passing along some scholarship information I came across. I am not sure about anyone's eligibility for such awards however, I thought I would pass them to you for you to determine whether or not you could take advantage of them. Some of the dates will show that the deadline has passed. Ignore this. Sometimes there are not enough candidates that applied or the website is not updated and you can still apply.

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Brothers and Sisters:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Socrates
on democracy advocates three courses of action for those who disagree with the
management of public affairs. First, he persuades the dissenter to pack bag and
baggage and leave the state—exile. Second, retirement into inactivity; what the
Ghanaian may refer to as “country broke or country no broke, we dey inside”, a
clear path for the passive. Third and finally, he persuade us to join the legislators
to bring transform the status quo. <span style=""> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">I consider
myself to be part of the third group. What about you? It is easier to make your
voice be heard than to submit to the status quo. It is easier to stand up and
be counted than to watch the union from a distance. I urge you to take action
today by joining hands with Prosper Yao Africa Tsikata to bring that transformation
we are all looking for to make our union a stronger one.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Going
back to the issue of manifestos—public declaration of intentions—we have all
seen how some ideas, for example, an African restaurant in Athens could not
stand on its feet when the time came for intentions and programs to face the
contest of public scrutiny. </p>

you all,</p>
