PAMLO |
|
PAMLO, the Pan-African Mentoring and Learning Organization, is a world-wide
nonprofit consultancy that specializes in advising educational institutions
and communities on how to improve academic performance, how to access educational
materials, how to motivate learners and teachers, how to encourage entrepreneurship
among school-leavers and graduates, and on how to build local and global partnerships.
Currently, PAMLO in collaboration with GLP and other organizations are undertaking several
programs geared towards further enhancing their vision. Among these projects is one of the
beneficial GLP-PAMLO Scholarships at Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology.
In 2002/2003 GLP donated a multi-million dollar science library collection to the Jomo Kenyatta
University for Agriculture and Technology.
The donation was facilitated by librarians Betty Henninger & Andy Grannatt of BASF who arranged
the donation by BASF of an entire science library from the company's Agro Research Technical
Information Center in Princeton.
In return the university agreed to establish and award 10 full scholarships at JKUAT to low income
students participating in the GLP-PAMLO initiatives in Western Kenya.
This scholarship program will dramatically increase the availability of technologically skilled people
in the district and it is expected that scholarship students will commit to provide service learning
time in primary and secondary schools in Teso district during their vacations.

SMS |
|
SMS are university students volunteering to act as mentors to students in primary
and secondary schools. The group of students was initially initiated to work under
PAMLO umbrella.
:: Mission
PAMLO is the Pan-African Mentoring and Learning Organization. PAMLO aims at helping those who
need guidance in schoolwork, in leadership, in career planning, in business, and in personal growth.
When college and university students offer guidance and academic help to younger students in primary
and secondary schools, they are fulfilling PAMLO’s mission. The long term goal is to develop and
empower the community through knowledge and skills.
:: Plan
School visitations:
We will conduct an occasional, but consistent visitation, of the different schools in Teso.
We will foster a good relationship between the head teachers, teachers and ourselves, to ensure
a warm but effective experience for all parties concerned.
During these visits, the university students will engage in different discussions relating to the
circumstances at hand, from good study skills, to life after high school, relationships, leadership,
career and entrepreneurship, books, reading and knowledge.
Workshops: Is there life after high school?
At these workshops, we will initiate interactions among students that will entail debates and dialogues
geared towards improving the communication and argumentative skills of the students. These discussions
will be mainly academic but also containing hints of social and political matters that pertain to the
region or country at that moment in time.
The workshop will also be filled with talks on leadership and responsibilities to our community,
neighbors and country. There will be different activities and small group discussions planned alongside
the talks.
There will be speakers, mainly students, but also older and wiser people from the job industry.
Occasionally have some of the PAMLO sponsors speak, at their availability.
The workshops will also have booths of information about different colleges, polytechnics, and
universities in Kenya, and the different careers that students can get into i.e a college fair.
Also included will be talks on joining universities overseas and outside Kenya(US, UK, Uganda etc),
by invited guests.
The first workshop will be free or at a very low cost...to encourage the presence of students since
financial constraints may impede the presence of many.
We will possibly make it an on going summer workshop or winter workshop for the students so that it
is always put in plan, as one of their activities in December/August.
Big brother big sister club:
Encourage the high schools to form a big sister, big brother clubs on campus that will be of the same
mentoring capacity (maybe not at length) but for the younger students. This will e a way of the students
giving back to the community at an early phase, in preparation to their being future mentors for those
coming after them.
Computer literacy:
The plan here is to acquire computers from organizations that may not need them anymore or that are
going on a new lease, and donating these computers to the high schools in Teso. With the developments
in technology, it will be a great idea to facilitate the basic knowledge of computers to the younger
generation. The plan to acquire computers from Xavier University is still underway. Mentors with any
limited computer capabilities will be a great resource in the teaching of introductory operational
skills.
Volunteer activities:
Mentors will organize volunteering opportunities with the student. These could include cleaning the
roads, building huts , clean /repaint schools, tutor younger students, etc such activities that will
make everyone happy about the work that they have done, yet at such a cheap cost: the God given energy
that we have.
In staying consistent and effective, mentors will start visiting just a couple of schools, then with
time, expand to the rest of Teso District schools.
Schools already visited or suggested are:
Chakol Girls’ High school,
St. Paul’s Amukura,
St. Joseph’s Kocholia,
Bishop Sulumeti Girl’s high school,
Amagoro Primary School.
It should be noted that most of these schools are in the southern part of Teso, our starting point.
We will add schools as we progress.
And this is the point where I stop writing, and wait for additional comments.
