A theater scholarship for Chanda
Chanda is an elementary school teacher living in Zambia. Your help can help her get the resources she needs to attend the Master's program in Performing Arts Management at the famous La Scala Theater in Milan for which she was selected from many applicants. This master's degree will not only enrich her path, but also give her the tools to inspire others and to use theater as a means of change.
Chanda is 32 years old, lives in Lusaka, Zambia and dreams of changing (her) world through theater. We met her through Tina, a longtime member of the Pope John XXIII Community who now lives in Italy but has lived as a missionary in Zambia for most of her life.
Chanda is an elementary school teacher, but she is not just a teacher: she is an artist who loves to sing, act and dance. Every day, she brings the magic of theater to her children, because she believes that acting is an educational tool that can ignite a very powerful flame in children.
Tina has watched her raise Chanda, become a woman, struggle, and now, finally, she has been given the opportunity of a lifetime: she has been accepted into the Master's program in Performing Arts Management at the famous La Scala Theater in Milan. A dream come true!
But there is one hurdle to overcome: she needs €10,000 to cover tuition and travel costs, as well as to meet the expenses of the first few months (the master's program will last 20 months). There were only 10 places available to enter the master's program , and Chanda managed to get in! This is a unique opportunity for her, a true social and personal redemption. This master's degree will not only enrich her path, but also give her the tools to inspire others and to use theater as a means of change.
Imagine Chanda, sitting in the classroom at La Scala, ready to learn, grow, and return home to her class, to her children, to inspire them and pass on what she has learned. Her passion and talent deserve this chance, which is why we have chosen to support her as a Community, together with Tina, just as you do with your children, to help them dream big.
Your donation then will allow us to create a scholarship for Chanda that will help her continue her dream. Let's support her future and show her that, truly, even the last can become first, but only together!
