Mona's Remote Nursing Legacy
Donation protected
This is a memorial trust fundraiser celebrating Mona Page-Dhu's endless giving in life and now after her passing, an opportunity for an educational legacy in her name.
Being an endlessly selfless and generous human being, Mona would give anything she had to help absolutely anyone in need.
She expressed the desire to contribute to the educational costs (sponsorship of) a female Papua New Guinean student who desired to contribute to her village by becoming a village nurse. The cost of such a course (and the boarding and associated fees and air travel) of which is exorbitantly high is often unattainable for a subsistence farming culture in Papua New Guinea.
Cost of schooling at Port Moresby University is comparable to any Australian university, but without the financial subsidies. A nursing degree, with boarding and travel, could run upwards of 25,000K per year of study. We would love to reach an amount to allow a students costs to be covered for the entire school certification period. That will be around 75,000 K. Even if we don't make our goal, any money we do manage to raise, will 100% go towards paying for the school fees in PNG of a female candidate who shows potential and will help her village.
Mona, an SDA mission nurse in Papua New Guinea cared for those afflicted with leprosy in the 1950's and had always wanted to help the girls who were always at an unfair disadvantage for receiving education, due to gender inequality.
This fundraiser has been created to allow all those wish to show their support and who Mona touched with her kindness and selflessness, to contribute something in Mona's name as a thanks to her, but also will give financial aid to a PNG village female nursing student who may not have had the opportunity otherwise.
I know Mona would be very happy to hear about this effort to help someone else, in her name.
