A grant application to Peace Corps to fund a project lead for group (DES-N, Developing Every Society to National) of Cuttington students who have been doing volunteer projects on their own has been approved. The Peace Corps liked the project so much, we are able to expand what we originally proposed.
These are the main parts:
The main objective is aimed at getting into school the orphaned, homeless, and neglected of the nearby village of Sinyea.
1. Establish a mentoring program between 100 university students here at Cuttington with the target group pf children.
2. Train parents, and relatives of our target group on child rearing with sessions on abuse and rape.
3. Provide a 12 week, 5 day feeding program to both attract our target group and to provide a meal to keep them in school
4. Get basic school supplies and clothing for target group.
Timing is never right, because the students are taking final exams and soon will disperse to the winds until sometime in February when they start to trickle back.
I have my fingers crossed that this can be a signature project for the students, the university, and of course Peace Corps.
