The yellow sands of the dunes stretch to infinity,
you're tired and thirsty and night is closing in.
Suddenly you have a vision of utopia:
starlit skies, palm trees, soft music, abundant food and drink.
No, it is not a mirage,
it's The FAWCO Foundation Oasis,
where you will be inspired to discover the mysteries of Midnight at the Oasis.
Bring your "Starybucks" to our hideaway casbah, as riches of the desert await you.
The journey will continue with our Silent and Live Auctions.
A treasure will be awarded to the traveler with unique local dress accents
(dressy or casual, let your imagination guide you).
FAWCO Foundation Friendship Quilt
"Celebrating Tradition"
Instructions for the 2011 quilt are now available. Moroccan zillij tiles in the colors of jewels will create a beautiful Moroccan mosaic of cloth. We would like each FAWCO club to participate, as the money raised from the "Friendship Quilt" raffle will support our DGs and Awards.

The FAWCO Foundation Announces a New Partnership to Promote Post Secondary Education of Young Women from the “Lambs Project”
After two years of research, The FAWCO Foundation is pleased to announce a new program to further support young women in Burkina Faso wishing to pursue studies after high school. We will work with Friends of Burkina Faso and NEEED (Nimbus, Enfance, Environnement, Education et Developpement, a local non-profit organization in Northern Burkina Faso) to create a fund for young women in at least three fields of study, one of which will be an academic university studies program.
The fund will be generated through donations, with a goal to disperse funds by 2011. The candidates will be selected by the Friends of Burkina Faso and their progress will be monitored on The Foundation’s website. A Donation Gift Certificate for the NEEED Scholarship is now available. Every dollar you give goes directly to this program and makes the perfect gift!
