Happy Thanksgiving! - No Meeting on November 24, 2022
Koo Yuen presented the "Tuskegee Airmen" at the Rotary Club meeting on November 17, 2022
"The Tuskegee Airmen National Historical Museum is an operational repository of the Tuskegee Airmen’s history and artifacts while also providing an active learning community through classroom and hands on aviation and aerospace engineering programs. With respect for the past and solid investment in the future, the museum relishes being a springboard to inspire the next generation of aviators and aerospace enthusiasts through targeted youth programs.  The museum tells the story of the profound and exceptional contribution of these men who signed up to fight for America bringing the country to victory during World War II despite racial segregation and the debilitating limitations of a racially charged and deeply divided and unequal society."

Potomac-Bethesda Rotary Supports mEducation Alliance to Reach Out to Afghan Refugee Families

I sincerely wanted to thank you again for the generous support from your club to help us advance Wondrous Learning Center activities at the Eastpines Community Building!  Your financial contributions helped us undertake several of the activities referenced below, including purchasing hands-on games and other training materials and supplies for the refugees attending the IRC Summer Academy and our July 30th Neighborhood Day event. For example, we purchased several pop-up tents for the July 30th event to provide shade for attendees and exhibitors which were enormously appreciated. As you can see in the following, we're continuing to advance a variety of activities, including a chess game day this weekend and a professional development and career day in September. We'd welcome any further inquiries and engagement from your club.  -- Anthony Bloome

On Saturday, July 30th, in collaboration with the Metamorphosis Community Project and Eastpines Community Association, mEducation Alliance hosted the Wondrous Learning Center Neighborhood Festival in Riverdale, MD. This event underscored the Alliance's commitment to supporting refugees, including those in the U.S.  At this event, the organizers featured representatives and tables from 10 community-serving organizations sharing resources with the 100+ attendees who participated from the surrounding community.  In addition to all the information booths, participants of all ages had a variety of activities to choose from: a bounce house, balloon animals, a raffle, book and educational game giveaways, and even juggling lessons!  To welcome so many of our Afghan refugee friends who joined us, we served traditional Afghan food cooked by Afghan women living in the nearby apartment complex.  The mEducation Alliance plans to host even more events and training activities at the Wondrous Learning Center, particularly those replicable in other formal and informal settings globally.
