Let Children Learn's mission is to facilitate the education of school children in Latin American by providing them with tools that allow them to be successful. Let Children Learn has two main objectives: To create a spirit of advocacy with local children in San Diego and to assist with the educational goals of selected educational projects of Latin School. Learning to th
ink of others instead of ourselves is a much-used concept in the philanthropic world, and Let Children Learn would like to help put a meaning behind the words for local school children at a very young age. It is hoped that this will make a tremendous difference in their lives as well as raise awareness of how much they should value the gift of education that they have been given. Local Schools will be invited to participate in an educational event and them asked to facilitate a second even that is planned by the children themselves around something they can do to assist one of the highlighted projects. Specific objectives of this project include:
1. Education: Increase awareness with local children of the educational disparity between California Schools and Latin American school via a multi-media presentation.
2. Activism: Promote a spirit of activism and a desire to collaborate with one of the targeted Latin schools by local children.
3. Mentoring: Become a catalyst for the creation and organization of an event designed to assist one of the Latin schools by mentoring a class representative, group of class representatives or the teacher of one of 10 classrooms.
4. Event: Participate in an event led by the classroom designed to address one of the needs identified during the activism phase.
5. Exchange: Facilitate the exchange of ideas, services and materials between north and Latin American schools. The projects of Let Children Learn all have two things in common: They focus on educational needs of Latin American Children AND they are part of an existing project so that they are sustainable-lasting long after this Gold Award Project is completed.
