Anderson's Educational Fund

Hi. My name is Mary Jo O'Neill and I am president of the Choir Council at Bel Air Church. Our well-loved choir director, Anderson Isiagu, will lose his position at the end of the year and is in need of our help. Anderson is in this country on a student visa, studying for his Ph.D. in Musicology, with four semesters left to complete his doctorate.

Anderson is a gifted musician whose skills and experience include music creation and production, composing, orchestration, orchestral and choral conducting/directing, composing for film, arranging, music publishing, music managing and music education at high school and college levels.

Our goal is to raise $13,500 which will cover the tuition he needs to finish his studies --$2,700 in arrears and $10,800 for his four remaining semesters. Because he is here on a student visa, it is vital that he be able to continue working on his doctorate and maintain his student status. If he does not, it could lead to his deportation.

As a choir, we invite our friends, Bel Air members and all others who would like to contribute to do so. Please feel free to share this with anyone you think would like to help in this worthy cause.

Thank you!

Any and all donations will be appreciated -- and will be a lovely surprise for Anderson.
