***This is a message from a member of Friends of Students for 60,000*** To expound on the literacy project. This is something that Shari and I framed out over the course of a year. Basically the women (rosa rita Leyla and Conchita) are doing literacy in exchange for English lessons. Please be advised that all groups working with Conchita do pay her a stipend of about 100 dollars per trip. I try to do all set up work to keep what she needs to do at a minimum. Also keep in mind that the literacy program has gas budgeted in so it should not be coming out of her 250 dollar salary. I believe Shari has the program funded for 6 months but we obviously want it to continue past that. We are also trying to begin a youth initiative in nuevo where rosa and company take the young people on field trips learning experiences etc. but funding is needed. Again shari has more information.

Every Sunday Conchita takes Leila and Rosa maria Ojeda out to NA where they've begun an adult literacy project. The best thing about this is that Rosa is an excellent professional teacher and has many very serious committed students there (in a place where few are very committed to much) and that it is working very well. This was one of the best things I saw on this trip. I also learned that Conchita receives $250 per mo. from the club as a stipend and that she spends about $100 of that on gas. So she is really working for quite little. maybe some of the other groups that use her services including Friends can up that a bit if they don't already. *** You can unsubscribe from this list by sending an email to fsf60k-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the subject field.
