The 2010 Third Annual Uganda National Brain Bee

In 2010 there will be five regional Brain Bee competitions in Uganda.  The winners of those competitions will compete at the Uganda National Brain Bee.

We are raising funds to support this great effort.
Our immediate need is $1300:
We need $1000 for the regional competitions ($200 each) and $300 for the national competition.

Our hope:
It would be so great to be able to send the 2010 national champion to represent Uganda and compete at the International Brain Bee, which will be held in San Diego in August 2010.  Can we dare to hope that we can raise that much?  We were successful in 2009 -- McMaster University funded the trip for two from Uganda to Canada.  We are looking for support for 2010.
