Description of Projects

Throughout its history, the TSTSCA has worked as a partner with the Santo Tomás Committee for Community Development. In addition to delegates visiting in the two communities we currently support a Children’s Free Lunch Program and community Library, supporting both children and adults in our sister community. We also facilitate the sister school relationship between Lincoln Elementary School in Olympia and Escuela Rúben Darío de Santo Tomás.

New this year, in response to both a request from Santo Tomás and interest among people here in Olympia, we have committed to supporting a small scholarship program. This will be open to Tomasinos who are interested in pursuing college or vocational training and using the skills and knowledge they acquire to help their community. In January 2010, three students will be selected, by a committee in Santo Tomás, to receive partial scholarships. We anticipate supporting these students through their five year programs and adding more students each year as we secure financial commitments. For $360 per student per year, we will support the development of new professionals committed to Santo Tomás.
