GLOBAL EDUCATION INITIATIVE - IN 2017, THE BOARD AUTHORIZED INVOLVEMENT AND CONSULTATION WITH A NONPROFIT, CALPAK EDUCATION SERVICES, WHICH IS COMMITTED TO SPONSORING/ADOPTING SCHOOLS TO PROVIDE EDUCATION FOR GIRLS AND WOMEN IN PAKISTAN. TO THIS END, THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR SERVES ON THEIR BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND CONSERVATIVE FUNDS HAVE BEEN ALLOCATED TO SUPPORT TRAVEL. SERVICE IS PROVIDED GRATIS. IN 2021, OUR SPONSORSHIP HELPED TO PROVIDE AN EDUCATION FOR OVER 700 YOUNG BOYS AND GIRLS IN PAKISTAN AND 60 FIVE-YEAR OLDS AT A GIRLS' SCHOOL IN AFGHANISTAN. WE PROVIDED FUNDS TO EXPAND THE THREE THARPARKER (PAKISTAN) SCHOOLS BY CONSTRUCTING A CLASSROOM AND A COMPUTER LAB AT EACH OF THE THREE SCHOOLS, THEREBY ALLOWING TWO AND THREE TIMES AS MANY CHILDREN TO ATTEND SCHOOL. LIFE IN THE THARPARKER REGION OF PAKISTAN IS HARD: THE CHILDREN FETCH WATER ON FOOT FROM A POLLUTED LAKE OVER TWO MILES AWAY. FETCHING WATER IS A CRITICAL ACTIVITY THAT ROBS HOURS OUT OF THE DAY, THEREBY PREVENTING THE CHILDREN FROM ATTENDING SCHOOL. WE CONSTRUCTED SOLAR WELLS LOCATED IN THE VILLAGES NEAR THE SCHOOLS TO ALLOW THE CHILDREN THE FREEDOM TO ATTEND SCHOOL AND TO PROVIDE POTABLE WATER DURING THE SCHOOL DAY. WE CONSTRUCTED BATHROOMS NEAR THE SCHOOLS, THEREBY ALLOWING THE CHILDREN TO STAY AT SCHOOL VS GOING TO THE ONLY TOILET LOCATED MORE THAN FIFTEEN MINUTES AWAY. THE BOARD HAS COMMITTED TO CONTINUE FUNDING THESE PROGRAMS IN PAKISTAN (AND OTHERS IN THAT REGION OF THE WORLD) VIA ITS GLOBAL EDUCATION INITIATIVE.
