@ParisJackson Would you be able to help a 501c3 charity in Kentucky that easies the lives of deaf children throughout the state of Kentucky? I am writing to ask for your assistance to help Kentucky School for the Deaf. If a monetary donation is not possible we would be extremely thankful for anything that can be sold at a silent/ live auction to raise funds for KSD.
The Kentucky School for the Deaf Charitable Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit established to enrich the educational experiences of students at Kentucky School for the Deaf and for deaf students throughout the state.
One way to enrich deaf students’ educational experiences is to bring these students together with hearing students in educational projects, problem-solving tasks, sharing products and engaging socially through video conferencing.. In a similar way, deaf students in the state, isolated from their deaf peers at KSD by distance and other barriers, can engage in campus experiences with KSD students through video conferencing.
For our video conferencing projects we are seeking funding for the following:
1. Furnishing the elementary school video conferencing room with appropriate chairs and worktables. The room is used several times a month by K-5 students as well as at least once a month by all students in larger group videoconferences. The total cost for 5 folding tables and 26 chairs is $1,304.57. This bid is based on special pricing through Central Kentucky Educational Coop (CKEC)
2. Purchasing a subscription to MAGPI, a nationally recognized non-profit videoconferencing service. The annual subscription cost is $500. This covers a wide variety of projects for K-12 students at no additional cost. Additional video field trips are offered for costs ranging from $50 t0 $250.
4. Purchasing a portable green screen or blue screen backdrop to use when we are videotaping activities that will be featured on a KSD-sponsored videoconference. This will include preparations for the Vice-Presidential Debate at Centre College in October. KSD has been invited to participate in the pre-debate activities. Another project suitable for the green/blue screen will be a video tour of KSD’s history museum, Jacobs Hall Museum, for a video conference with Kentucky deaf students in local schools throughout the state. Our consultants in each Kentucky region will help schools access the tour. Portable green/blue screen kits are widely available (even on eBay). The size we require ranges from $200-300.
We appreciate your sponsorship or donation for this important project.
Sincerely yours,
Chris Anderson
