Youth Leadership and
Development Program
With starting construction of a new two story
Church Library and Learning Center, Pipit Fund Inc. will explore
using part of the space as a Computer and Vocational Leaning
Center. We have received a request for 16 new worship pews for
the new sanctuary. One goal in our anticipated February 2004
visit to the Philippines is to assess the Church Library and the
nursing books for the scholars, so we can be more specific on
our selection in response to their needs. In July, we will begin
to appeal for toys to friends and Presbyterian Church in
Chinatown and possibly toy retailers. In supporting the scholars
and Church Vocational Program, we will purchase or solicit
donation on a number of manual and electric typewriters and
computers. One of the goal too is to provide skill training
opportunities for out of school youth and non-college bound
students
In 1995, we, and the Presbyterian Church in Chinatown,
San Francisco sponsored ten (10) sewing machines for a
vocational training program at a local high school. On our visit
there in 1999 we presented the high school with a computer.
These have provided a means for the youth to learn new skills
which they can use to further develop themselves.
