Mission and Program Overview
Mission
The organization distributes Lapboards and does teacher training in schools in Malawi

|---|---|---|
| 2021 was the eighth year the PAL - Portable Academic Lapdesk, has worked to improve the education of primary students in the nation of Malawi. The World Wide Covid -19 Pandemic brought great challenges for PAL as an organization. Flights were cancelled into Malawi and training of teachers and distribution of PALs was cancelled for 2021. Communication was limited to face time events and email service where it was available. Local Malawi representatives traveled to schools when they were open but as in many places around the world academic learning took on a whole new look. This was particularly devastating in Malawi as schools with no electricity and impoverished situations have no alternatives if class is cancelled. Teen pregnancies rates sky rocketed according to reports and violence increased as young men found themselves with nowhere to go and no motivation or help with their learning. PAL is looking forward to 2022 and an outreach is scheduled for September, since learning has returned to the schools of Malawi. We have team members ready and prepared to travel once again. In the meantime we still have over 4,000 PALs in the school system. These PALs have impacted over 144,000 students, 72 schools, nearly 2,300 teachers as well as the 82 team members who have traveled to Africa and helped with training and distribution. 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. It is our goal to once again provide these tools to teachers and schools in Malawi.Fund raising and grants application will once again be pursued as things begin to open up. PAL is in this work for the long haul and we look forward to entering back into Malawi. | $1,789 | - |
