DescriptionGrantsExpenses
In early 2011 the process of looking for an injection molding company that could produce the PAL was begun. A company in Coeur d'Alene Idaho was found that had large enough machinery to be able to produce the size of mold needed for the PAL. Several meetings with their engineers were held and a procedure for producing the PAL was finalized. March 11th a quote was received from Accurate Molded Plastics in Coeur d' Alene, Idaho for the production of the PAL June 7th a meeting of the Board of Directors was held in order to adopt a Conflict of Interest Policy. June 22nd the design Patent for the PAL was filed July 12th, Directors Joel and Jackie Wells met with the Director of Basic Education for Malawi at his office in Lilongwe, Malawi. He expressed great interest in the PAL and granted Americans for Africa permission to distribute the PAL in the Malawi school system. Dr. McKnight Kolanda will work with Americans for Africa to give locations and names of Schools where distribution can begin once the product is available. September 16th the application for IRS status 501 (c) (3) was approved and issued for Americans for Africa. October 4th the Directors Joel and Jackie Wells attended an International Convention in Calgary Canada where the PAL was introduced. October 28, application was granted through Techsoup.com for Office Professional Plus 2010, a Microsoft product. November 6, 2011 a think tank night was held in Spokane WA to discuss the way forward for the PAL and ideas for fund raising. November 8 the PAL registration and trademark status was granted.$2,595-
