With your gifts to date and monthly commitments, we have over 70% of the first-year's budget in place. We are moving forward. The equipment has been selected and our first teacher identified, The English curriculum is being tested with a weekly Facebook class. Our survey of students is underway. Our local computer and network technician is ordering the computers and planning the network expansion.
The English class has attracted young people looking for jobs. The teacher is a young woman who has a degree as a science teacher from a major university in Chiang Mai. Through her work at the local vocational-technical college, she realized how few resources are available to young people to build the right skills and find jobs that suit them. Her goal is to develop an application to help students identify the skills they need for the jobs they want and match them to employers.
In the meantime, we tested one of the soft skills programs with 20 of our students at Warm Heart. With the success of Girlrising.org's gender-neutral "Explore More" program, we plan to use it as part of the "soft" skills development program. The Explore More program helps youths build their self-confidence, by forming goals, increase self-awareness and improve peer interactions and life planning.
Thank you for making this possible!
Warm regards from the team at Warm Heart!
