"Faces of the Future"

Three years ago, the Ford Foundation began a massive, 300 million dollar scholarship program aimed at promising students from developing countries. The project provided post-graduate support for students who plan to return to their countries and contribute to national development. These students represent populations that have historically been excluded from educational opportunity. These students – from Uganda, Nigeria, Senegal, India and Peru – describe their experience.

This program will air on, Wednesday, November 24, 2004 at 8pm on MHz NETWORKS, broadcast channel 56, reairing Thursday at noon, and Saturday at 8am. It can also be viewed over the DISH satellite network.
