Eligible candidates will initially be within Livingstone. They will be referred as mentioned before and they will need to complete an application. The application form to be used is attached to this Business Plan. They will be entering grade 8 through grade 12 and must be referred as stated previously. They will need to have access to a school and be willing to attend regularly and consistently. They must work diligently, completing all work that teachers ask of them to the best of their ability and notify teachers, parents and Wings of Hope when and if issues or challenges arise that are preventing good progress.
Guardians will be required to oversee the student’s progress and become actively involved in the education process, including reviewing report books, talking to teachers/school staff and ensuring all homework is completed daily. This includes continual monitoring of reading and writing skills improvement. Supplemental needs assessment by Wings of Hope volunteers will determine if tuitions or other extra help is needed. Wings of Hope volunteers must be given full access to all details related to the child’s education issues in order to facilitate the best possible solutions. Failure by the guardian(s) to actively participate in the student’s education monitoring can jeopardize that child’s continuance in these programs.
Later, as organization growth occurs, expansion to rural areas and beyond is predicted. At that time, business planning details will be added.
