The Project

So. I have been placed head of a project for a battered women's shelter. This shelter is a faith based (the only in the state) and houses women with boys. If you do not know much about these types of shelters, they usually do not hold the women to long and boys are not allowed. This one allows the women to stay until they can get on their feet, so for a while, but not years...

The project is to convert one of the unused rooms into a computer lab/lecture room/craft area for the women and children. The computers can serve for job searches and a place for children to get online schooling while moving in between the shelters and home. It will serve as a lecture area for speakers who may come to teach life lessons for the women. The craft area will serve as a place for both the children and the women. Again, it will serve as an area to learn job skills etc...

So right now I need to find grants and money for it. I work with computers, and I have many donated things, but money is still an issue. We need wireless, decoration materials, printers, wires, things that I think my mind can not fully grasp. I'm still trying to set up some idea of a small committee to help me, but everyone seems to look at it and say 'that is a good idea' and do nothing.

I think it will all work out though. I will be stopping by the shelter tomorrow with three others who I hope will help in the designing. It will work. I know it will. i just have to get it started and finished before I leave...

Wow...I made a blog...anyways. Hello internet people *waves* I am called the Duck by those who know me, but that is another story.

This blog is to just post about random human rights activities that I help out in. I am also trying to connect technology, education, and human rights into a massive chain of things as well. So that will be a major point as well. Have fun reading about the life of myself, or at least some of it...
