| Description | Grants | Expenses |
|---|---|---|
| 2017 was the fourth year the PAL - Portable Academic Lapdesk, was distributed in Sub-Saharan Africa. The main focus has been in Malawi and Zambia. 1940 PALs have been distributed in the past 4 years. These PALs went to 38 schools which represented an attendance of over 60,000 learners and over 300 Teachers. The assessment forms returned from the Head Masters and Teachers have stated over and over the improvement of test scores, attendance, class room participation, learners ability to recite the mathematical times tables, improved penmanship and many more improvements in their class rooms. The teachers themselves have stated how much easier it is to prepare lessons with the use of the PAL and accompanying teachers manual which is distributed to each teacher. In 2017 we conducted our first teacher training conference where the following sessions were discussed, age appropriate HIV/AIDS understanding and prevention, how to keep boys and girls in school, learning styles, classroom management and the PAL as a classroom resource. Grants and funding were received from Rotary, Kiwanis, Teacher groups, other service organizations and individuals. These connections will be pursued in the future as we continue to work to pursue grants and donations. | $19,716 | - |
