Note: Please bring pencil, notepad Everyone is welcomed to any/all sessions. The Clinical Educator training is geared to placing trained reading diagnosticians/tutors in every settlement across Abaco so children who need help will have it readily available. This training is sequenced and results in an endorsement for participants who have taken every session and can show they understand all aspects of the strategies and techniques in an end-of-training certification. Since it is five months into the training, the first cadre is closed now, but people can come for information and pick up the whole cadre next Fall. For more information about the training sessions or things that can be done to help, please call Evelyn Major 242/366-0101 or me 954/584-2175. Just a note: Every Child Counts is progressing nicely, accelerating, actually. o I officially kicked off the Eleuthra link, coordinator Lang Fincher, last weekend. Over 30 teachers came to the training. What an enthusiastic, dedicated bunch! Wonderful time. o Channel 4's Neighbors for Neighbors heard of our Ecc/Rotary Construction for Education project. I meet with them next Wednesday. They intend to donate $14,000 to the project so our high school students can help rebuild/repair Abaco and learn while doing so. We will be looking to build classrooms, low-cost housing, and a community center. o Several FIU students and faculty are coming to Abaco mid-March for Spring Break. We will repair the roof on the Every Child Counts classroom and are looking for other repair projects. If you have repairs needed and have the materials and are in need of strong backs, enthusiastic/willing spirits, and weak minds let us know and we will try to help. o Paul King and Sandra Irish have agreed to let us publish their River and Odyssey manuscripts...profits going to Every Child Counts project! o If you want to participate and/or donate (time, money, materials, expertise), please contact Lyn Major.
