Rotary’s philosophy is go narrow and deep so we keep helping the people of Antigua We’ve also been able to distribute over 9,000 dictionaries to third-grade students, and following Rotary’s mandate of “Training and Sustainability” we initiated a teacher training program so Antiguan teachers can better use technology to reach their students. We (John’s wife Jan) have also set up eight sewing centers, donated sewing machines, and provided sewing lessons to teach ladies living in high-poverty areas the skill of sewing (they use these skills to make their family clothes, school uniforms, and items they can sell). Every year, other than Covid, we escort 14 students to Antigua. Before going these students prep the computers in the Cisco Academy class. In Antigua they are hosted by local families, deliver the computers (lately 1,500 per year), and setup wi-fi networks in schools.
