Green continues
Hello everyone, there are no real big changes from earlier post. I have still been working on getting the Arts & Education build up and running again. The individuals involved have decided to form a partnership to push the project through. The members involved include Technologists inc, a private company that has contracts with the United States government’s Energy Department. The company provides a portfolio of engineering and management services to public and private sectors world-wide, through exceptional design, engineering, construction, and operations services that ensure powerful solutions for their clients. Another group the DC Project consists of members of the Obama campaign. Father Jean-Claude Atusameso a program coordinator from Earth Rights Institute who is very interested in obtaining grants for the implementation of our green program. Lou August of the Wilderness Technology Alliance, for who I am a CTC Vista volunteer representative, is also very much involved in procuring funds and jobs for the homeless community.
Together we set a round table discussion, here at the Community for Creative Non-Violence (CCNV), where we invited individual from the District Government and also local companies involved in Green Technology. The DC Project members were very instrumental in getting a great turn out and support. The Technologists inc, has offered a contract through WildTech/CCNV to test a program called MOM, they are hoping that the homeless individuals at the shelter will get involved with the training. WildTech/CCNV performs the task of training other homeless individual in computer skills ranging from computer refurbishing, Microsoft office programs, ecommerce training, and a recycling program which is in plans for next year. Some of the material may have been repetitive but this is all I could think of at the moment.
