Aparajita Richmond Mothers’ School
Khulna, Bangladesh

Excepts from the letter we received:
“This is our happiness to tell you about our days and wok in school. 25 mothers are operating 25 home based little schools. Each Amorak mother teaches 5 children between 5-10 years. We teach them for a few years and develop their basic learning skills. After that their parents admit them to higher grades in formal education.

Thank you very much for your support to our mother-school and the children we are teaching.”

Richmond Rotary is partnering with RCF Connects SparkPoint Contra Costa West. RCF Connects CEO and Richmond Rotarian James Becker sent the following information on how their grant will be used: “We’re here to assist individuals with rental support, LYFT rides, and navigating paperwork. Our team is dedicated to making these resources accessible and straightforward to our clients and community members. We’re all about making things easier and accessible to our clients.” Madelyn Ramirez, Co- Director SparkPoint Contra Costa West.

A team of Richmond Rotarians stopped by the Adolescent Parenting Program on May 7th to learn more about the current program and provide the teen moms with gift bags for Mothers Day, Thank you to Teacher Dr Mary Hughes-Tutass for your dedication to the program and the young moms. Richmond Rotary’s involvement with supporting teen moms started in March 1996 when Rotarians helped convert the FEAST Program classroom into an infant center on the J F Kennedy High School campus. Rotary will need to provide additional advocacy and support to enhance and enrich the program.
Special thanks to Rotarian Darlene Quenville for coordinating our support program.
