School supplies

$25,000

A school on the island of Pohnpei in Micronesia, Ohwa, is in need of basic school supplies and is expanding into agricultural endeavors. They are teaching all the basic academic programs as well as animal husbandry and farming. They want to be self sufficient in housing many students and providing food, lodging and education from elementary to college level. Funds from this grant will purchase school supplies, books, farm tools, and a boat to assist them with fishing for self sufficiency. All students, faculty and support staff will benefit from this grant.

My District and Club are waiting for submission of paperwork in this year, and will help fund it if funding is still available. I've written to the new officers and will continue to try to get this accomplished in the current Rotary year.
