The money will provide our six week program at the Federal Correctional Institution at Morgantown, WV with the tools to be successful. We plan to purchase the following items according to our proposed budget:
- Six Dell laptops
- Seven textbooks
- One printer
- Six copies of Microsoft Word Software
- Writing utensils
- Paper
The grant provided by the Human Fund will cover the classroom costs for twenty-four students. Each student will be able to construct their own employment documents on the laptops and follow the lessons in their textbooks.
With the course we hope to give the inmates the opportunity to change for the better and keep them out of the crime that got them here. Thanks to the help of the Human Fund, it is now possible for us to make a difference in their lives. After completing the program, they will have a better chance to succeed on the outside.
We can't wait to get our program started this August! Make sure you check back regularly for more details and information on the "Back to Work: Professional Writing Workshop" and thank you for all your support!
