      Hi Alena,

      Thank you for asking. The whole idea of this programme is to bring scientific learning and interest to young students. In this country, science is well taught in schools and we have good facilities to teach science. But, in poorer countries like those in Africa young students who want to learn about science are unable to because they lack the resources used to develop scientific skills. My reasoning was that there would be a greater benefit in using the money to help students in poorer countries to have the same opportunities and access to learning as students do in our country. They can they go on to make a difference to improve the way they live.
