Description:
Cents of Relief is providing
laptops and hiring teachers to help children of prostitutes learn English and
computer skills. Simultaneously, the children will chat on-line with an
e-mentor, who will be living outside of the red-light area, allowing the
children a chance to reinforce the English and computer skills they are being
taught and be exposed to new cultures. An e-mentor will have the unique
opportunity to develop a bond with a child from the red-light area and determine
what areas a child requires more assistance in. This upcoming year we hope to
assess the first phase of the program and expand by recruiting more teachers,
more e-mentors, and more laptops, while assessing the first-phase of this
project.
