Earthquake in Abruzzo, Italy
We have received the following report from our partner organization, AMURT (Italy):
Earthquake in Abruzzo - Let us rebuild a school in L'Aquila - "Scuola Elementary di Pettino di L'Aquila"!
We have started fund raising to rebuild an elementary school in the area hit by the earthquake. The name of the school is "Scuola Elementare Mariele Ventre di Pettino di L'Aquila". Before the earthquake the school had 400 children. The work will start soon after the technical work.
When the initial emergency relief phase to save lives will end and the authorities will have a better idea of the situation. We will take up a project to rebuild one school in the area affected by the earthquake.
The local authorities will be consulted for a school that needs our assistance. We have previous experience in other areas affected by similar catastrophes.
We are also forming a team of psychologists to assist the people traumatized by the event.

Update (April 2009): the
Foundation has wired US$1,000 to the project. The rest of the funds
were secured through other funding agencies. We are now awaiting more

contributed.
This is a request for $2,100 to expand the reading project in Barlovento to a school in a neighboring village. This amount covers a small salary for a facilitator and the rest is for material such as books, paper, paint etc.
Below is the message from the Project Director:
The story reading program: On a regular base the Center lends children’s books to the parents of La Guairita and Madre Vieja to read to their young children. The purpose is to stimulate reading and writing, teach values and to create positive attention activities between parents and their children
Finances are needed for good parenting workshops for the parents, to buy good children story books and other related materials and to pay a full time intern to expand to other villages.
