Back again on Zoom!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our January meeting was once again via Zoom. We had a great talk from Ann Beatty of the Steve Sinnott Foundation about their work worldwide (Changing Lives Through Education) and in particular their work in Sierra Leone which was of\u00a0 interest to our club because of our support for the Kori Project in Sierra Leone.<\/p>\n

Ann told us the history of the foundation and then proceeded to outline their Positive Period project they run in Sierra Leone and Gambia. Further information on their projects can be found on their website. Ann also discussed their recent project of supplying [from in country] solar powered radios so that children can continue their studies during the pandemic. Each radio cost about \u00a325 in country. In Sierra Leone both the government and teachers themselves, are producing learning programmes. Ann emphasised that the foundation\u2019s policy was, where ever possible, to ensure projects are sustainable and able to be replicated in country.<\/p>\n

Ann also outlined the foundations new venture of Life-long Learning webinar series. Each webinar is 1 hour long- with a request of a \u00a35 donation going to their Positive Period and Digital Divide projects.<\/p>\n

What a fabulous motivational and interesting way to start the new year!<\/p>\n
