In 2007 Lhasa will provide sponsorship to the Africa Education Initiative (NEF) for travel fellowships allowing African students to attend the 2007 Africa Education Initiative International Scientific Conference.
Four students from Nigeria, Ghana, Liberia and Cameroon will receive the bursaries from Lhasa Limited to fund their journey to the Main Campus of Nnamdi Azikiwe University Awka, Nigeria. The conference runs from June 11 to June 14 with the theme; Integrating new technologies in drug development.
Dr. Chudy Nduaka, President and Board Chairman of the Africa Education Initiative, commented; "We greatly applaud Lhasa's provision of travel grants to underprivileged African students to enable them attend this conference. The scientific topics covered in this conference are generally not available in standard college curriculum and therefore these students will enhance their knowledge of drug development and basic concepts in science. Without these grants from Lhasa, this would have been impossible for these students. It is our hope that other corporations will follow Lhasa's example and support education and training of students in the continent of Africa."
