The Rainsong Uniform and Colegio Scholarship program is twofold:
1.FREE UNIFORMS FOR PUBLIC ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS - we intend to provide uniforms for elementary school children in our area whose families have limited resources, especially families headed by single mothers, or grandparents raising their grandchildren. There are many families who cannot afford to buy the uniforms necessary for their children to attend primary [or elementary] school.
2. COLEGIO SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM - we will provide tuition and fees necessary for Rainsong's selected sponsored students in 6th grade whose families cannot afford to pay for their attendance in colegio [high school - 7th grade & on].
These sponsored students will also enjoy many other benefits from their being involved in the rainsong projects.
For example :
1.private tutoring from rws volunteers in english, math, or any area they are struggling with.
2. also, a series of intensive classes involving global conservation issues, to school them regarding the planetary picture, so that they can begin to share their knowledge with the elementary students in their area's elementary schools, in presentations organized & supervised by rainsong staff, using the world globes provided by Greenwave as teaching tools.
3. help with the collecting of saplings in the forest, bagging the saplings, upgrading the trees to larger bags when necessary, caring for veggie gardens at the rws sanctuary, and other opportunities for learning skills that could provide them later on with a profession as a biodynamic gardener/landscaper or provide them a background for a career as a conservationist/reforester.
4. experience with the animal care in the rescue center.
5.animal husbandry skills - hands on - at Rainsong : goats, horses, chickens, etc.
6. a penpal program: we already have a stateside school ready to be the penpal friends stateside. the penpal program will be online in order to also teach computer skills that anyone in almost any job needs. The penpal program is also another great way to teach them english !!! since the american kids will be writing initially in english.
7. Sea turtle patrol program that will involve the students and their families.
