Our local high school, located on the island of Bohol, is in immediate need of a Learning Resource Center in order to provide its students an adequate education and the necessary skills to succeed in the professional workforce. A Learning Resource Center would entail the creation of a functioning library and computer lab. Currently the school has no means for its students or teachers to research topics or to access additional information in the form of textual or internet resources. The Learning Resource Center would enable the school to provide textual resources to its population as well as conduct effective computer classes for its students, teachers and community members. The construction of a Learning Resource Center would allow students not only to increase their literacy in all subjects, but also to increase the overall level of education provided to the constituents of the school.
The high school is contributing eight functioning computers, one printer and one projector/projector screen. Student clubs have donated financially to the project and the PTA will be donating volunteer man-hours to assist with the labor of construction. The school has a passionate and dedicated teaching staff willing and able to support and maintain a Learning Resource Center once afforded the funds necessary in order to make this idea a reality, which is exactly the opportunity the Peace Corps Partnership Program would provide them.
