Project 1808 Staff Meets with Beneficiaries to set the Path Forward

June 1, 2015 by Project1808 Leave a Comment

On May 30th, 2015, Project 1808 staff met with beneficiaries to discuss the more than 9 months break from school and ways of re-engaging academically. A key learning from the youth was that they needed additional materials to what was being provided by the government.

In light of these feedback, the organization is looking to equip the learning center with useful materials for students as well as resume after school tutoring/mentoring programs. Donations will hence go towards addressing these immediate needs.
