My Turn: Rex Putnam High graduate seeks funding for Peace Corps project to help disabled Ethiopians | OregonLive.comWe are working with an association called Abdiin Halilisuu, which consists of 31 people living with disabilities. This association worked with the previous Peace Corps volunteer to create a project proposal for an income-generating activity. The project, a chicken farm, was chosen based on the volunteer's prior experience. After the project had waited for funding for nearly two years, we decided to rewrite the proposal and submit it to the Peace Corps Partnership Program. The Partnership Program, once it approves the proposal, posts it online and anyone can then donate. Once the fundraising is complete, the money is released and construction can begin. |
