Yasme Foundation grants to support youth

The ARRL reports the Yasme Foundation has announced several grants
aimed at encouraging and promoting youth participation in Amateur
Radio and advancing activities that result in new licensees around the
world

Yasme has designated grants that will allow young radio amateurs to
attend the 7th Youngsters on the Air (YOTA) UK 2017 conference this
August at Gilwell Park, UK. More than 100 young radio amateurs from
all three IARU regions will gather to participate in Amateur Radio
programs and workshops as well as cross-cultural exchanges and social
interaction.

“Gatherings such as YOTA exemplify the ability of amateurs to work
together across national borders and ethnicities in the best ‘ham
spirit’ of friendship,” the Yasme Board said in announcing the grant.
The Yasme Foundation will continue its support of YOTA by assisting
two young radio amateurs each from Ethiopia, Tunisia, and Kosovo to
attend YOTA UK 2017 this summer.

The Yasme board also made a grant to Kevin Richardson, G0PEK, and his
daughter Lauren, M6HLR, to purchase of Amateur Radio direction
finding, HF, VHF, and UHF portable radio equipment in support of their
activities to encourage youth involvement in Amateur Radio in the UK.
