Virtual Academy for Overcoming Global Poverty (VAOGP)
LemonAid Fund is hosting the Virtual Academy for Overcoming Global Poverty (VAOGP) which is designed to address poverty in all its efforts whether in the USA or internationally. The focus of VAOGP is to form partnerships with individuals and groups (LemonAid Fund) to develop best practices through synergy of multiple resources that together form solutions to global poverty that could not be achieved by one single resource.
VAOGP intends to do more than to develop well intentioned efforts to address the global issues of poverty, but rather to form alliances between groups of people that will yield solutions that match the culture of the groups we want to impact. Many are already engaged in a variety of community outreach efforts and VAOGP can help to more efficiently coordinate and expand these efforts.
VAOGP is engaged in developing and evaluating efforts to overcome global poverty through the implementation of educational opportunities, community outreach, and research. It is time to break through the barriers that have prevented meaningful and widespread impact on this critical and chronic social issue.

LemonAid Fund and VAOGP Join Efforts Toward Vision One Million FGAIn July/August of 2019 LemonAid Fund will work with VAOGP in Popayan, Colombia to train teachers who have previously been trained by VAOGP in a new approach: the Forgiveness, Gratitude and Appreciation (FGA) Resiliency and Well-Being Approach. Much of the content of the FGA training has been translated into Spanish during LemonAid Fund's work in Nicaragua and was evaluated as culturally inclusive.
The psychosocial FGA work is at the basis of teachers being able to be better teachers and children able to be better learners. It helps remove the hurts/trauma/betrayals that weigh down the mind and body so a person is able to summon its spirit to its best self. When these troubles are removed a child has increased concentration, less violent outbursts, less stress, more stamina and less health issues that all add up to better school performance leading to the possibility of greater economic abilities as they become adults. The cost of the 12 day training of 25 trainers, over 100 trainees and 500 school going children is only $8,000. All the teachers, leaders and children will be volunteering their time to make this important work happen in Columbia. LemonAid Fund appreciates your support toward bringing FGA to a new country. |
