SEAM (Self Education And Mentorship) Program

               SEAM continues to thrive and benefit the community and its children. Since our last report we have continued to provide them with all the benefits of the program and some. One of the ways in which the program has come full circle is with the mentorship program; some of the first SEAM children just completed high school and are now volunteers at SEAM as peer mentors, allowing these high school graduates the opportunity of taking on the role of big brothers/sisters to the very children from their own community, and exemplifying the benefits of the program. The library also continues to provide a wonderful environment for the children to study by giving them a communal study space, where they can help each other in their studies and strengthen the learning process.  

                Aside from helping the children with their traditional studies, we continue to encourage the development of creative skills through classes that focus of specific talents such as bead work which are currently running strong. We also participated in the April little by little fundraise and were delighted to mobilize new donors who helped us raise a good amount of money, that will truly benefit current ongoing projects and future ones.

                Last but not least, we begun a new program over the holiday season of supporting girls with sanitary pads and boys with boxers.
