The Sangora Education Foundation

The Sangora Education Foundation was established in 1991 to promote excellence in education, better understanding and cooperation between the people of Australia and those of other countries through education and learning, and opportunities for the study of society and culture through the provision of grants, awards and scholarships. I would like to thank the Sangora Education Foundation for awarding me the Language Teachers Award 2015. Lola Jones
