| Description | Grants | Expenses |
|---|---|---|
| 2016 was the third year the PAL - Portable Academic Lapdesk, was distributed in Sub-Saharan Africa. The main focus has been in Malawi and Zambia. 1700 PALs have been distributed in the past 3 years. These PALs went to 30 schools which represented an attendance of over 38,000 learners and over 600 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 in their classrooms. In addition to the PAL being distributed in the schools, each teacher is given a manual with educational material relating to the elements on the PAL; in 2016 we added a section on HIV/AIDS and a section on the importance of Keeping Kids in School.2016 also brought us a Grant from Rotary Club 21 in Spokane Washington with matching grant funds from the local district. Club 21 also sent a representative to Lilongwe, Malawi who met with the local Rotary Club in Lilongwe. These connections will be pursued in the future as we continue to work with both Rotary Clubs. | $16,203 | - |
