2009-2010-Indigenous
Computer Training Program:
-
Continue
raising funds to implement two computer skills training
programs, in collaboration with the Poor Clare Sisters
(Catholic Nuns) of Divine Mercy in Chalco, Mexico. The
first computer and literacy program will be implemented in
Chalco, Mexico, where the Sisters live and work; the
second program will be organized in the San Miguel la
Sardina Village public school in the State of Chiapas
Mexico; area where the Sisters work and where Stewards
of the Earth has visited and helped raise funds for
the school.
-
The
“Computer and Literacy Training Programs” are Stewards
of the Earth “Faith Based” social service projects;
primarily because the programs were started with the
financial support given by Sacred Heart Church in
Ventura, California – “St. Rose of Lima Outreach to the
Poor Committee;” lead by Lupe Anguiano who has a great
deal of experience working in Mexico. Guadalupe Olay,
Stewards' Board member, who lives in Mexico, will be
the computer instructor in Chalco and assist, overseeing
implementation of the Chiapas School Project.
Future-Collective History
Program:
- On
hold; anticipate working with UCLA Chicano Studies
Research Center, whom Stewards will request to
conduct evaluation of all programs and request keeping
history of all Stewards' programs
