The Literacy Committee has many projects going on and Edwina and Charlotte told us all about them. Mabuhay! In the Philippines we have helped add classrooms, helped redo bathrooms, and given $1000.000 a year towards school supplies! We support 6 different schools, 569 elementary students and 1414 high school students. We also support a feeding program where the parents cook the lunch meal 4 days a week for the students. we supply the protein for each meal. It is considered a sustainable program. There are no longer any malnourished students within our schools. The Literacy committee also supports the program Peaceful schools an anti bullying program. This program is conducted with Mountain View elementary school. they have also added an adult learning lab at the Our Center. Rotary purchases and donated 5 computers so that people are able to do job applications on line and get basic computer skills. Great Job Literacy Committee
