Thanks to Brenda Williams and Michelle Mahlik, another grant proposal is on it's way. This time we submitted a proposal to BE FREE GLOBAL (BFG). They support educational projects for displaced and needy children world-wide. We made a plea for textbooks which are desperately needed in our schools. Our teachers currently laboriously copy small assignments in each child's small exercise book or on the chalk board every day. The teachers have the only set of text books. Once the children have books they can read the lessons themselves and master content much more quickly. Each book costs approximately $6 with six different content areas for each grade making a complete set of texts $36. Compare that to a cost of $150 or more for one textbook in the U.S. ! Here's hoping BFG will look upon our proposal with favor!!
