Greetings Dear Friends!

Please join me in a discussion concerning helping people improve their lives~~~                             

I am working on a doctorate degree in education and I have also established a non-profit charity which has yet to find donation or funding. My goals include establishing scholarships for low-income young parents who are college students, and ultimately establishing an online academy for teens and adults to prepare them for success before they go on to college or employment.

Our current society is causing the need of pre-life communications skills for many reasons. Pre-life skills refer to those necessary to be an active and successful adult citizen. This is especially true in regions with lower funded school districts due to poverty. Many citizens do not know how to write a successful Letter to the Editor, study political candidates affectively, speak properly in a business environment, write a good essay, do a research paper, advocate to the public, be well informed voters, and, many other such skills that all good citizens should be able to do. Also, they need to have average, or better, reading, writing, and speaking skills, as well as, basic math, science, and geography knowledge, which is a must in post-secondary education and even in many fields of employment, especially with our global cultures and economies now part of everyday life.

Low-income persons and those forced to change careers need pre-life communication skills right away. Many low-income people have not been in school or employment for awhile and so need to update their skills in order to have the chance to get ahead. Our nation has been losing jobs by the thousands and thousands have been laid-off, so they too need to up date their skills and add to their education. Today’s society and economy requires actual life-long learning. Currently, veterans are returning from wars and along with basic adjustments must also seek gainful employment and, therefore, need addition communication skills to be successful. Native Americans, especially those on reservations deserve any educational help we can provide. An online academy could also provide global access.

All constructive suggestions and comments will be very welcomed!!! Our charity is The Angel Power Emporium, Inc. (TAPE). ~TAPE for Cracks in the System~     We are interested in suggestions for all aspects of our projects, and currently are especially seeking ideas for obtaining donations and funding. We want eligible persons to be able to use financial aid, just like adult students at vocational school can do. However we wish to also maintain the flexibility necessary for learning successes. We also need ideas for obtaining laptops & Internet access for low-income academy students. Please, feel free to share any ideas that you might think of because you never know how it may be helpful! Questions will also be appreciated. Thank you!!!

Peace & Blessings, Kathleen
