Project Updates:

I have impacted my school community, my university community, the community in Atlanta, and the community in New Haven. By tutoring and becoming involved in these different communities with the children, tutors, parents, and teachers, I really feel that I have made a difference. Over the past six years we have had over seventy tutors. Currently we have about thirty. We have helped more than five hundred people. When I graduated from high school I was worried that the service group would not continue but it has continued running and raising funds under the leadership of other members. We are planning on starting AIS at another school in Atlanta! The fact that we keep planning, tutoring, growing, and expanding shows that AIS is a huge success. The AIS branch at Yale is still planning on how we will use our grant because we haven’t started tutoring. In the next few weeks, we will be purchasing educational materials for the children such as games, books, flash cards, BrainQuest, and arts and crafts ctivities.  The AIS branch in Atlanta is gearing up for its biggest fundraiser - the school fair.  We already have a booth and will be selling cotton candy.  This week we have to get all the supplies and ask for donations.  Everybody is hoping that we will be able to raise a lot of money because in addition to buying educational supplies we are going to provide a child with a scholarship to attend the Solidarity School! Good luck to all the AIS volunteers in Atlanta
