At the request of FAMEC and local Rotarians, we worked with FAMEC, the Rotary Club of Vitria da Conquista, Bahia, Brazil, and the Rotary Club of Littleton, Colorado, USA on plans to fund, equip, and implement a regular dental care program for these children, teens, and their families. (This program was since approved for funding from Rotary District 5450 and implementation will begin in 2020). Development of Early Childhood Education Project in Talnique, La Libertad, El SalvadorThe coverage of service in education and child development in El Salvador is less than 3% nationally, which has consequences for children throughout the rest of their lives. This project seeks to provide training to existing resources within a community, to institutionalize knowledge in early childhood, and to continue replicating this knowledge in the long term. The project consists of the training of caregivers of children under 7 years of age who live in the rural municipality of Talnique, including the educators of the Centro de Bienestar Infantil San Luis Talnique (San Luis Talnique Child Wellness Center, a childrens early learning center), promoters and health personnel of the Unidad de Salud (Health Unit, a public clinic), as well as training of mother-leaders who will replicate knowledge with other mothers through community circles of play and learning. Through this training, it will be possible for the Centro de Bienestar San Luis Talnique, to function as a training center that can continue to replicate this knowledge and these tools within the community in the long term. Research shows that socio-emotional support, with the introduction to language and reading, are the keys to school readiness, and this project will give children the basic components they need for school readiness and success in the future. We serve as a Cooperating Organization in this $58, 000 Global Grant project of the Rotary Foundation. Upon approval, funds will be managed by Rotary Clubs and Rotarians. (This project has since been submitted to the Rotary Foundation and is in the final phase of the approval process). Teacher Training Project in Vila do Caf district, Encruzilhada, Bahia, BrazilThe majority of the 234 children, ages 2-5, in the Nelzira Palles Municipal Nursery School in Vila do Caf District, Encruzilhada, Bahia, Brazil come from families living in extreme poverty. This affects their physical and emotional wellbeing, their behavior, and their ability to learn. We recognize the need to train teachers and staff to give these children joyful moments and necessary care which values this phase in their childhood and in their lives. The teacher training took place in 2019 and many positive changes in the interactions between teachers, staff, and children have been observed. We also developed additional teacher training projects in 2019: (1) Recreational Dynamics in Child Education and BNCC National Base Common Curriculum, and (2) Music in Early Childhood Education; this training will be implemented post-pandemic. Development of Project - Improving Pre-School Childrens Health with Safe and Sanitary Bathrooms The 234 children, between 2-6 age, who attend the Nelzira Palles Municipal Preschool all come from situations of great poverty and difficulty. Most of them do not have enough food to eat at home and do not have a way to bathe at home. This project in their preschool will make their eating area safe and comforting and will make the bathrooms safe and comforting for their potty time and bathing, especially since most do not have a place to bathe at home. It will also provide safety and protection by updating the electrification and lighting, and by covering dangerous exposed outlets and wires. This project and budget were developed in 2019 during a trip to Brazil and a visit with children, parents, preschool staff, and local government officials. (This project has since been proposed to the Foundation of the Rotary Club of Washington D.C. for funding and implementation in 2020).Development of Project for Health, Safety, and Recreation for Preschool Chlidren in Vila do Caf, Encruzilhada, Bahia, BrazilSince the founding of the Nelzira Palles Municipal Preschool in 1992, the children who attend this institution have suffered on rainy days and on days when the sun is very hot. This is because the Nelzira Palles Municipal preschool is divided in two blocks with classrooms, and until recently there was no cover between them. On rainy days, it was not possible for the children to leave their classes to go to the cafeteria. For this reason, the meals were served within the classroom itself. However, when a child needed to use the bathroom, sadly the child would have to leave the classroom to cross the patio area. The majority of times the teacher would use her umbrella to try to keep the child from getting wet; however, this was only partially effective and often the childs feet would become soaking wet. During these rainy days or days of intense sun, it wasnt possible for the children to have their recess time to play on the patio, and even the play-based classes which the teachers planned were usually planned for outside of the classrom, so the children had to stay for all four hours of class without being able to leave their classroms. Now that the children have a cover for the patio that provides more comfort and safety for the children, regardless of weather conditions, the reality is totally different. Since its founding, the Preschool never possessed a playground or even toys that could help provide moments of leisure. Due to the lack of options for the chidren to have fun at recess time, there would be many fights among the children. To provide more options for the children, we also developed a playground project for the Nelzira Palles Municipal Preschool. (These projects were funded by Java Jacket in 2019. Construction of the cover was completed in early 2020 and the playground will likely be built by the end of 2020).WASH Project at the Centro Escolar Talnique in Talnique, La Libertad, El SalvadorWe served as a Cooperating Organization on Global Grant from the Rotary Foundation in the amount of $45,837 on a WASH project to build water systems, bathrooms, and sinks for the approximately 400 children and adolescents at the Centro Escolar Talnique in Talnique, La Libertad, El Salvador, and to provide education on sanitation, hygiene, and other relevant topics.El Salvador is the most violent peacetime country in the world, with the highest rates of homicide and femicide globally, due to gang violence. Therefore, topics relevant to gender equity, promoting peace, and staying safe were all addressed. This project provided the children with washable bathrooms, hygiene education, and training on e 39159 39159 Stephanie Palm Neves Executive Dir. 20.00 0 false false false false false false false 0 0 0 false 0 0 false Stephanie Palm Neves 2533 S Pennsylvania St Denver CO 80210 7202011790 false false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X 51622 50865 48728 41214 39251 231680 0 0 51622 50865 48728 41214 39251 231680 0 231680 0 0 0 231680 1.00000 1.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Other Expenses.1001 Advertising and Promotion $45 Other Expenses.1005 Travel $1608 Other Expenses.1008 Interest $176 Other Expenses.1012 Insurance $798 Other Expenses.1 Program management and develop $18744 Other Expenses.2 Program Expenses $12438 Other Expenses.3 Technology and computer $2164 Other Expenses.4 Bank Service Charges $841 Other Expenses.5 Professional Development $752 Other Expenses.7 Education expension $650 Other Expenses.8 DUES $227 Other Assets.1003 Machinery and Equipment - Beginning $785 Machinery and Equipment - Ending $785 Other Assets.1005 Accounts Receivable - Beginning $23349 Accounts Receivable - Ending $0 Other Assets.1011 Prepaid Expenses and Deferred Charges - Beginning $600 Prepaid Expenses and Deferred Charges - Ending $600 Other Assets.1 Advances on Future Grants - Beginning $12346 Advances on Future Grants - Ending $12346 Total Liabilities.1 CREDIT CARDS PAYABLE - Beginning $65 CREDIT CARDS PAYABLE - Ending $589
