One Week Left to Double Your Impact!

DONATIONS ARE NO LONGER BEING ACCEPTED FOR THIS PROJECT.

Thank you to those to those who donated in the past.

What if the children in your community wanted to read, but there just weren’t enough reading materials available in the language they speak and understand—what would you do to change that?

For Bi She (pictured here in the yellow shirt), the manager of one of our 2019 Community-Based Language Development (CBLD) projects, that was exactly the challenge she faced. Her answer was to help organize a well-planned series of four workshops that—with the support of people just like you—were carried out over the past eight months. Those workshops have produced a lot of new teaching materials and locally authored books using Bloom software in three different languages of Myanmar.  They have also introduced trainees from these three language communities to effective new teaching practices.

From now until Christmas Day, a generous donor from the SIL LEAD board has offered to match all donations (up to $5K) for next year’s grantees. These new grantees are being selected now from more than 30 applications received.  The funds you give will help people like Bi She make a long-term difference in the lives of children, teens, and adults in their communities.

Please consider donating to our Community-based Language Development grants by Christmas Day, doubling the impact in dozens of communities around the world.

Your generous donation of any amount will help local people achieve quantifiable results.

Look at the joy on these hardworking trainee’s faces as they learn new skills and develop new reading materials for their classrooms!

The real impact is always in the classroom, as the lessons the teachers have learned and the materials they’ve prepared using Bloom software are supplementing the work of the national language schools, so that children who speak minority languages will have the same opportunity to learn and grow as everyone else.

Please consider giving to projects like Bi She’s in Myanmar by Christmas Day, so SIL LEAD can match the generosity of our donors and can continue to support grass-roots efforts to better education and change lives!

Thank you so much, from all of us here at SIL LEAD!
