Project 7
APPEH is proud to have supported UNRWA’s Textbook Development program, which is creating English language textbooks for Palestinian refugee children in Lebanon. UNRWA are in the process of completing grade 3 part 1 English textbooks and will be introducing these to schools at the beginning of the new scholastic year in October.
Last year (Project 2), APPEH funded the purchase of three computer and software packages necessary to produce these texts, as well as training in the use of the software. Now the project has gained momentum and needs more hardware and software.
Our colleagues in Lebanon would benefit greatly, increasing productivity and decreasing timeframes, if they could purchase two more hardware/software packages for their team, thus equipping each member with the necessary production tools. The estimated cost is $10 000, and we seek your support. (For the technically minded, the details of the additional software/hardware packages required are stated below.)
