| Desc | EDUCATION (EMPOWERING CHILDREN) - OVER 650 CHILDREN FROM PRESCHOOL TO CLASS 10 (HIGH SCHOOL) RECEIVED TOP-QUALITY, ENGLISH-MEDIUM EDUCATION THROUGH SHINING LIGHT ACADEMY (SLA) LOCATED IN GILGIT, PAKISTAN. APPROXIMATELY 20% OF OUR STUDENTS WERE FROM THE CHRISTIAN MINORITY COMMUNITY AND ATTENDED SLA ON A SCHOLARSHIP BASIS. OUR SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM ENABLED 22 MINORITY CHRISTIAN CHILDREN TO ATTEND LOCAL SCHOOLS,INCLUDING SLA, FROM PRESCHOOL THROUGH UNIVERSITY THAT OTHERWISE WOULD NOT RECEIVE AN EDUCATION. EIGHT ADDITIONAL STUDENTS RECIEVED FULL SCHOLARSHIPS TO ATTEND COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THEIR FAMILY'S HISTORY. THIS HAS RESULTED IN OVER A DOZEN CHRISTIAN FAMILIES THAT ARE NO LONGER LIVING IN POVERTY, HAVE BUILT THEIR OWN HOMES AND HAVE ENDED THE CURSE OF POVERTY FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. ADDITIONAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS INCLUDE: a)TEACHERS - OUR SLA TEACHING STAFF HAS INCREASED FROM 39 TO 44 TO ACCOMODATE SCHOOL EXPANSION AND GENDER SEPARATION AS REQUESTED BY THE LOCAL COMMUNITY. WITH THE ADDITION OF THE NEWLY ACCREDITED HIGH SCHOOL, RECRUITMENT EFFORTS HAVE INTENSIFIED TO FIND EXPERIENCED TEACHERS FROM BOTH CENTRAL PAKISTAN AND THE LOCAL COMMUNITY. SEVERAL MASTER TEACHERS WERE HIRED TO PROVIDE QUALITY EDUCATION IN MATH, URDU AND SCIENCES AND TO PROVIDE MENTORING FOR LESS EXPERIENCED TEACHERS. IN ADDITION, THEY WILL SERVE AS SUBJECT SECTION HEADS TO PROVIDE LEADERSHIP AND GOVERNANCE FOR THE ORGANIZATION AND WILL ASSIST THE PRINCIPAL IN CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT AND IMPROVEMENT. b)SLA PRINCIPAL - A QUALIFIED, PROFESSIONAL, EXPERIENCED PRINCIPAL FROM LAHORE, PAKISTAN WAS HIRED IN FEBRUARY 2018 TO LEAD SLA IN ITS MISSION TO PROVIDE HIGH QUALITY, AFFORDABLE, ENGLISH MEDIUM EDUCATION TO THE STUDENTS AND ADULTS IN GILGIT, PAKISTAN. UNDER HIS LEADERSHIP, SLA PLANS TO ESTABLISH A NEW SCHOOL IN FUTURE YEARS THAT WILL BE THE MODEL THAT ALL OTHERS ASPIRE TO. c)TEACHER TRAINING - SLI DEVELOPED AND DEPLOYED A TEACHER TRAINING PROGRAM AND CONDUCTED ASSESSMENTS IN OCT/NOV 2018 FOR SLA TEACHERS AND STAFF IN GILGIT, PAKISTAN. SLI VOLUNTEERS MET WITH VISITING TEACHING STAFF FROM A LOCAL SCHOOL IN GERMANY TO DISCUSS COLLABORATION EFFORTS FOR THE NEWLY DEVELOPED SLA TEACHER EXCHANGE PROGRAM TO BE LAUNCHED IN 2019. SLI WILL CONTINUE DEVELOPING TEACHER TRAINING MATERIALS WITH PLANNED DEPLOYMENT TO THE GUJJAR SCHOOLS (SEE DEVELOPMENT BELOW) AND POSSIBLY GOVERNMENT SCHOOL TEACHERS IN 2019. THIS IS PART OF SLI'S CAPACITY BUILDING PROGRAM TO DEVELOP THE CAPACITY AND PROVIDE SKILLS TRAINING TO SHINING LIGHT COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATION (SLCDO) STAFF AND THE PEOPLE OF NORTHERN PAKISTAN THROUGH FUTURE SLCDO LEADERS. d)SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM - IN 2018, SLI PROVIDED SCHOLARSHIPS FOR PRE-SCHOOL, ELEMENTARY, MIDDLE SCHOOL, HIGH SCHOOL, COLLEGE, AND UNIVERSITY STUDENTS WITH PLANNED EXPANSION IN 2019. NEARLY $33,000 WAS ALLOCATED FOR THE FOLLOWING SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMS: i. PRIMARY EDUCATION - PRE-SCHOOL THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL MINORITY, CHRISTIAN STUDENTS (22) RECEIVED $17,576 FOR TUITION, BOOKS, UNIFORMS AND OTHER EXPENSES. MOST OF THE RECIPIENTS ATTEND SHINING LIGHT ACADEMY. ii. SECONDARY EDUCATION - EIGHT CHRISTIAN STUDENTS RECEIVED $15,272 FOR COLLEGE TUITION, FEES, BOOKS AND PERSONAL EXPENSES. THESE ARE THE FIRST CHRISTIAN STUDENTS TO ATTEND COLLEGE IN GILGIT, PAKISTAN AND IN THE HISTORY OF THEIR FAMILIES. MANY ARE VOLUNTEERING AT SLA WITH PLANS TO BECOME EMPLOYED TEACHERS OR ADMINISTRATORS UPON GRADUATION THROUGH OUR LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM. e)NEW CLASSROOMS - THREE NEW CLASSROOMS STARTED CONSTRUCTION IN 2018 WITH COMPLETION TARGETED FOR MARCH 2019. THESE CLASSROOMS ARE NECESSARY DUE TO INCREASED ENROLLMENT CAUSING SOME CLASSES TO EXCEED THE DESIRED CAPACITY OF 25 STUDENTS. IN ADDITION, GENDER SEPARATION FROM 6TH GRADE ONWARD HAS ALSO INCREASED THE NEED FOR NEW CLASSROOMS. CONSTRUCTION OF THESE CLASSROOMS WILL IMPROVE EDUCATION QUALITY BY LIMITING CLASS SIZE TO NO MORE THAN 25 STUDENTS. SLI PROVIDED $10,000 FOR THE PURCHASE OF CLASSROOM EQUIPMENT, FURNITURE AND ESSENTIAL MATERIALS FOR THESE CLASSROOMS AND OTHER NEEDS. f)LAND ACQUISITION - SLA IS ON LEASED PROPERTY THAT WILL EXPIRE IN 2021 WITH LITTLE CHANCE OF RENEWING THE LEASE AGREEMENT. IN ADDITION, THE CURRENT LOCATION IS NOT ADEQUATE FOR THE INCREASED ENROLLMENT OF 650 STUDENTS. LAND ACQUISITION, NEW CONSTRUCTION AND RELOCATION REMAINS THE TOP PRIORITY FOR 2018 AND BEYOND. THIS WILL ENABLE SLA TO FURTHER IMPROVE ITS QUALITY EDUCATIONAL SERVICES AND ENSURE SUSTAINABILITY FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. A SIGNIFICANT MILESTONE WAS ACCOMPLISHED IN JULY 2018 WITH THE RELEASE OF FUNDS FROM THE SALE OF THE GILGIT EYE HOSPITAL TO SLI FOR THE PURCHASE OF LAND FOR A NEW SCHOOL. SEVERAL PLOTS HAVE BEEN INVESTIGATED AND A FINAL DECISION FOR THE NEGOTIATION AND PURCHASE OF LAND IS ANTICIPATED BY MARCH 2019. | Desc |

| Desc | 2) TRAINING (EMPOWERING LEADERS) - IN 2018, SLI FORMALLY LAUNCHED ITS CAPACITY BUILDING PROGRAM TO PROVIDE SKILLS TRAINING SPECIFICALLY FOR SLCDO STAFF AND LEADERS OF THE FGA GILGIT CHURCH. THE INTENT IS TO BUILD THEIR CAPACITY AS LEADERS, TEACHERS, BUSINESS OWNERS, STUDENTS AND OTHER VOCATIONS WHO WILL IN TURN PROVIDE EFFECTIVE SKILLS TRAINING TO THE PEOPLE OF NORTHERN PAKISTAN. DEVELOPING SERVANT LEADERS THAT SERVE THE COMMUNITY WITH INTEGRITY AND COMPASSION COMBINED WITH EFFECTIVE CAPACITY BUILDING SKILLS IS THE PRIMARY FOCUS OF ALL SLI DEVELOPED TRAINING PROGRAMS. OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL YEARS, SLCDO WILL BE IN A POSITION TO PROVIDE A NUMBER OF NEW TRAINING COURSES ALONG WITH THE CURRENT WOMEN'S EMPOWERMENT PROGRAM THAT PROVIDES JOB/LIFE SKILLS TRAINING, URDU LITERACY, BUSINESS ENTREPRENEURSHIP TRAINING & GENDER EQUALITY AWARENESS FOR MOSTLY LOW INCOME WOMEN FROM LOCAL & VILLAGE COMMUNITIES. THESE CAPACITY BUILDING & EMPOWERMENT PROGRAMS WILL HAVE A PROFOUND IMPACT ON THE PEOPLE OF GILGIT-BALTISTAN, PAKISTAN AND BEYOND. a) WOMEN'S EMPOWERMENT PROGRAM - BY THE END OF 2018, OVER 650 WOMEN HAD RECEIVED SEWING, CUTTING, KNITTING, EMBROIDERY AND WOOL WEAVING SKILLS THROUGH OUR WOMEN'S VOCATIONAL TRAINING CENTER (WVTC) IN GILGIT, PAKISTAN INCLUDING 8 WOMEN WHO WILL BECOME MASTER TRAINERS TO PROVIDE CUTTING & SEWING SKILLS TO THE GUJJAR COMMUNITY. A FOURTH TRAINING CENTER WAS OPENED IN A NEARBY VILLAGE IN OCTOBER WITH 25 FEMALE ATTENDEES. IN 2019, SIX NEW, FULLY EQUIPPED WOMEN'S VOCATIONAL TRAINING CENTERS ARE PLANNED WITHIN THE GUJJAR AND SURROUNDING VILLAGE COMMUNITIES TO EXPAND OUR REACH AND INFLUENCE WITHIN THIS REMOTE REGION OF NORTHERN PAKISTAN. THE WVTC IS A KEY COMPONENT OF OUR WOMEN'S EMPOWERMENT PROGRAM. AN AVERAGE OF 10 WOMEN HAVE BEEN EMPLOYED FULL TIME THROUGH OUR LIFE STITCH MANUFACTURING CENTER THROUGH THE PRODUCTION OF WOMEN'S CLOTHING, ACCESSORY AND HANDICRAFT ITEMS THAT HAVE BEEN EXPORTED TO THE USA. WITH THE STARTUP OF THE LIFE STITCH RETAIL SALES OUTLET (SEE BELOW) AND FUTURE EXPANSION OF INTERNATIONAL SALES, THAT NUMBER SHOULD DOUBLE IN 2019. b)LIFE STITCH RETAIL SALES OUTLET - SLI RECEIVED A GRANT IN 2017 TO FUND THE CONSTRUCTION, FURNISHINGS & SECURITY DEPOSIT FOR A RETAIL SALES OUTLET IN GILGIT, PAKISTAN TO SELL LIFE STITCH PRODUCTS AND OTHER ACCESSORIES TO THE LOCAL COMMUNITY.

SLI IS PLANNING TO RAISE $15,000 IN 2019 TO FUND ONE YEAR OF OPERATIONAL COSTS INCLUDING SALARIES FOR TWO EMPLOYEES, UTILITIES, RENT AND EQUIPMENT. THE OUTLET WILL COMPLETE THE FINAL PHASE OF OUR EMPOWERMENT FOR LIFE PROJECT THAT WILL PROVIDE EMPLOYMENT FOR AN ADDITIONAL TEN WOMEN THROUGH THE LOCAL SALES OF WOMEN'S CLOTHING, ACCESSORIES AND HANDICRAFTS PLUS RAISE SUSTAINABLE INCOME FOR THE WOMEN'S EMPOWERMENT PROGRAM. c)LIFE STITCH INTERNATIONAL SALES - SLI DESIGNED AND DEVELOPED HOME ACCESSORY PRODUCTS TO BE MANUFACTURED BY LIFE STITCH MANUFACTRUING. SEVERAL SAMPLES WERE AVAILABLE FOR REVIEW AND MODIFICATIONS WERE MADE DURING THE SLI PAKISTAN TRIP IN OCT/NOV 2018.

| Desc | 3) DEVELOPMENT (EMPOWERING COMMUNITIES) - THE RURAL VILLAGE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM (RVDP) WAS ESTABLISHED TO PROVIDE QUALITY EDUCATION TO REMOTE, ISOLATED COMMUNITIES IN NORTHERN PAKISTAN. ONE OF THE MOST OPPRESSED AND MARGINALIZED GROUPS ARE THE SEMI-NOMADIC GUJJARS. THEY ARE A POOR, ILLITERATE AND OPPRESSED PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN THE HIGH MOUNTAIN VALLEYS IN GILGIT-BALTISTAN. BECAUSE OF RELIGIOUS EXTREMISM, THE GUJJARS IN GILGIT-BALTISTAN HAD NOT BEEN EDUCATING GIRLS UNTIL RECENTLY. SINCE 2007, SHINGING LIGHT HAS BEEN PROVIDING SCHOOL EQUIPMENT & SUPPLIES, HIRING LOCAL TEACHERS AND PAYING FOR STUDENT SCHOOL FEES, BOOKS, AND UNIFORMS. TO DATE, SHINING LIGHT HAS EQUIPPED 4 REMOTE VILLAGE SCHOOLS, HIRED 21 LOCAL TEACHERS/STAFF AND ENROLLED OVER 400 CHILDREN THAT ARE RECEVING A FREE EDUCATION. OVER 150 GUJJAR GIRLS ARE RECEIVING AN EDUCATION AND ADULTS ARE BECOMING LITERATE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THESE MOUNTAINOUS, REMOTE COMMUNITIES. a) GUJJAR ADULT LITERACY PROGRAM - SLI RECEIVED A GRANT AND LAUNCHED ITS ADULT LITERACY PROGRAM IN JUNE 2017 BY PROVIDING PROFESSIONAL TRAINING TO 20 TEACHERS THAT PROVIDED LITERACY FOR GUJJAR ADULTS AND OLDER CHILDREN NOT ABLE TO ATTEND SCHOOL. ADDITIONAL FUNDING OF $7,800 HELPED TO START SIX CENTERS IN FOUR VILLAGES FOR THE NINE MONTH, PILOT PROGRAM THAT STARTED IN NOVEMBER 2017 AND ENDED IN SEPTEMBER 2018. OF THE 200 INITIAL APPLICANTS, 53 GRADUATED WITH AN URDU LITERACY CERTIFICATE. MODIFICATIONS HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE COURSE AND EIGHT NEW ADULT LITERACY TEACHERS WERE TRAINED WITH PLANS OF LAUNCHING SIX NEW CENTERS IN 2019. b)GUJJAR MOTHER TONGUE LITERACY PROJECT - IN 2016, SLI SUCCESSFULLY LAUNCHED A GUJJAR MOTHER TONGUE LITERACY PILOT PROGRAM. THE PROGRAM WILL DEVELOP READING PRIMERS, TEACHER MANUALS, STORY BOOKS AND OTHER MATERIALS FOR PRE-K AND KINDERGARTEN GUJJAR CHILDREN AND ILLITERATE ADULTS THAT WILL PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING BENEFITS: 1) TEACH CHILDREN AND ADULTS HOW TO READ AND WRITE THEIR OWN LANGUAGE (GOJRI IS AN UNWRITTEN LANGUAGE), 2) AID IN QUICK ACQUISITION OF URDU (THE NATIONAL LANGUAGE OF PAKISTAN) AND 3) PROVIDE INTRODUCTION TO CONCEPTUAL LEARNING (ROTE MEMORIZATION IS THE STANDARD EDUCATION METHODOLOGY). AFTER A SUCCESSFUL LAUNCH AND ENDORSEMENT BY THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION, A GUJJAR TRANSLATION TEAM WAS FORMED WITH TEACHERS THAT HAVE BEEN TRAINED TO READ, WRITE AND DEVELOP MATERIALS SPECIFIC TO THE GUJJAR REGIONAL DIALECT. THESE TEACHERS COMPLETED A TEACHER'S MANUAL THAT IS ESSENTIAL FOR INSTRUCTION WHICH WAS PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED FOR USE BY THE GUJJAR COMMUNITY. SKILLS DEVELOPMENT TRAINING WAS CONDUCTED IN THE FALL OF 2018 BY LITERACY CONSULTANTS WITH PLANS TO DEVELOP TWO ADDITIONAL BOOKS IN 2019. c)GUMSING COMMUNITY MIDDLE SCHOOL CLASSROOM PROJECT - SLI PROVIDED $7,500 TO BUILD, FURNISH AND EQUIP TWO CLASSROOMS (CLASS 7&8) TO MEET THE INCREASING ENROLLMENT AND TO PROMOTE GIRL'S EDUCATION THROUGH 10TH GRADE (HIGH SCHOOL). SLI IS SEEKING AN ADDITIONAL $30,000 IN 2019 TO BUY LAND, CONSTRUCT, FURNISH AND EQUIP TWO MORE CLASSROOMS (CLASSES 9&10) TO PROVIDE HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION FOR BOYS AND GIRLS THROUGH 10TH GRADE. INVESTMENT IN THIS PARTICULAR COMMUNITY IS STRATEGIC AS IT IS REASONABLY CLOSE TO HIGHER EDUCATION FACILITIES FOR BOTH BOYS AND GIRLS. IN ADDITION, IT IS ALSO CLOSE TO ANOTHER GUJJAR VILLAGE THAT COULD ALSO MAKE USE OF THE MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL FACILITIES AFTER GRADUATION FROM PAKISTAN GOVERNMENT SCHOOL (CLASS 5). d)HOME PARTIES AND SALES EVENTS - FIVE HOME PARTIES WERE ORGANIZED IN THE US IN 2018 TO SELL INFINITY SCARVES AND WOOL TOTES PRODUCED BY OUR LIFE STITCH MANUFACTURING CENTER. THESE PARTIES ALONG WITH A FEW OTHER SALES EVENTS GENERATED OVER $2,000 IN GROSS SALES THAT WENT DIRECTLY TO FUNDING SLI PROJECTS AND PROGRAMS. | Desc |
