The Saffa Girls School in Ramallah Governorate, West Bank, is one of 57 schools that USAID provided training to teachers and administrators through the Model School Network Program - a five-year initiative focused on developing a network of best practices for schools that would serve as a model for improving the quality of basic education in the West Bank. The project focused on the professional development of teachers and administrators, particularly in the areas of English, math, science, and information technology (IT). The school now has a thriving sports program and is providing healthier meals to its students to improve learning. The Saffa Girls School is also one of nine girlsâ schools (and one of 36 overall schools) that USAID is constructing or rehabilitating through the Local Government and Infrastructure Program - a five-year project designed to promote better local governance and provide basic community infrastructure necessary for improving the quality of life of Palestinians. The school has now 28 rehabilitated classrooms, computer and science lab, and library and resource center.
In the West Bank, girls are thriving in the classroom. Since 2000, USAID has constructed nearly 3,000 classrooms and renovated 2,700 moreâallowing many schools to cut class size and eliminate the need for students to learn in shifts. USAID not only invests in improving the physical conditions of schools and classrooms aiming to improve the learning environment, it also works through programs that improve teaching methodologies and introduce contemporary approaches to teaching and learning strategies, providing more learning opportunities for students.

Background on Saffa Girls school we visited:
USAID supported the Saffa Girls school by improving the physical conditions of the school and providing a better learning environment (rehabilitation work through implementing partner Global Communities) and providing training for the teachers and administrators (through implementing partner AMIDEAST) .
The Model School Network Program is a five-year initiative - implemented by AMIDEAST - that focused on replicating best practices to improve the quality of basic education (grades 1-9) in the West Bank and Gaza. The project focused on the professional development of teachers and administrators, particularly in the areas of English, math, science and information technology (IT). The program was implemented in 40 public and 17 private schools in the West Bank and Gaza.
The program introduced a student-centered, contemporary approach to teaching and learning within a network of 57 private and public schools in the West Bank and Gaza. Saffa Girls School was one of the 57 schools under the MSN Program. The program focused on the professional development of teachers and administrators at the model schools, particularly in the areas of English, math, science, and IT.
Professional networking, an annual, national and regional conference, and local peer-to-peer exchanges were also important features. Schools worked with parent-teacher associations, engaged in an after-school youth enrichment activities and students enjoyed summer English, math, and science camps.
These measures encouraged professional networking among schools and linkages between schools and their communities in order to foster âCommunities of Learningâ that best support childrenâs learning outcomes.
Math, English, science, and IT teachers of Saffa Girls School participated in the professional development program and received nine graduate credit hours.
This was an incentive to teachers and encouraged them to continue higher education studies at Palestinian universities. In addition, the school principal also participated in the one year Leadership Diploma Program. School facilities were renovated specifically the computer and science labs including furnishing and equipping and providing the school with internet connectivity. The school also received supplies such as library books and resource materials for teachers.
In addition, students were introduced to numerous extracurricular activities complementing classroom studies and engaging students in interactive learning experiences.
Saffa Girls School teaches grades 1 through 12. Saffa school has 538 students.
Through the MSN Program, Saffa Girls school received approximately $66,000. This amount doesnât include training costs.
Through the LGI Program, Saffa Girls school received $171,467 for rehabilitation works. Works included rehabilitation of 28 educational rooms in the three-floor school building. Internal works consisted of plastering, painting, and electrical works in addition to maintenance of tiles, doors, aluminum windows, and sanitary units. External works included construction of a canteen, boundary walls, drinking water fountain, and rehabilitation of the playground.

USAID has additional education programs supporting girls education:
The School Support Program (SSP) is a four-year initiative that supports marginalized schools by upgrading classrooms and school facilities, enhancing the schoolsâ learning and teaching environment through teacher training and leadership for principals; and implementing extracurricular, career counseling, and sports activities. Through the School Support Program USAID supports 19 girlsâ schools benefiting more than its 8,000 students (out of a total 50 schools supported).
The Leadership and Teacher Development (LTD) Program is a student-based four-year initiative that improves the competencies of thousands of teachers and principals through a results-based approach to training and leadership development. Through the LTD Program USAID supports 122 girlsâ schools benefiting more than its 31,000 students (out of a total 232 schools supported).
Student performance in USAID-supported Palestinian schools in the West Bank has improved substantially since the launch of the LTD Program in 2012. Students in schools that received teacher and principal training scored an average of 7% higher on standardized examinations when compared to other students in their district whose teachers and principals had not received this training.
There are more than 1,600 public schools and 320 private schools in the West Bank.
USAIDâs education reform initiatives have played a critical role in beginning the process of transforming the Palestinian education system from one based on textbooks and rote-learning to one aimed at developing studentsâ 21st century skills.

Some of the most productive forests in the world are managed by the BLM in western Oregon. The objectives of the O&C forestry program are to manage for a sustained yield of forest products and qualities needed to contribute to the economic stability of local communities, and continuing forest values and health. This vintage photo depicts forest management that took place in the BLM’s Eugene District in the 1980s.
The Eugene District of the Bureau of Land Management, now part of the Northwest Oregon District, extended from the Pacific Coast into the western slopes of the Cascade Range, and encompassed 316,000 acres. The Eugene District managed several ecosystems ranging from coastal inlands to dense Douglas-fir, hemlock, and cedar forests.
The Eugene District and the Salem Districts were officially consolidated into the Northwest Oregon District in 2016 and now collectively make up approximately 720,000 acres. The Northwest Oregon District stretches from the Cascades to the Pacific Ocean, where the historic Yaquina Lighthouse greets thousands each year.

The Fall 2010 Student Hackathon brought in hundreds of students from 30 universities to NYU's Courant Institute for 24 hours of creative hacking on New York City startups' APIs.
Selected startups presented their technologies at the beginning of the event, and students formed groups to brainstorm and begin coding on their ideas. Many students worked into the night, foregoing sleep to fulfill their visions.
On Sunday afternoon students presented their projects to an audience including a judging panel, which selected the final winners.
hackNY hosts hackathons one each semester, as well as a Summer Fellows Program, which pairs quantitative and computational students with startups which can demonstrate a strong mentoring environment, a problem for a student to work on, a person to mentor them, and a place for them to work. Startups selected to host a student are expected to compensate student Fellows. Students enjoy free housing together and a pedagogical lecture series to introduce them to the ins and outs of joining and founding a startup.

`sasrai’ appeal turned into demand of seven billion `Consume With Care’

Subject: Appeal to have a resolution to hang sasrai banner for one week June 03 to 07 at each UN related office gate across the globe in honor of World Environment Day.
Dear Sir
Greetings from sasrai-Movement
We are in 100% agreement with UNEP belief influencing consumption and production patterns at the local level would have a significant impact at the global level, because resource efficiency facilitates the transition towards a green economy and global sustainable development.
Since 2004 our appeal is we must get each one caring to each particle of resource. sasrai-Movement aimed at every person would have a mindset `save a bit in every step’. Street beggar to state driver will save resource no matter how small it is. Last 11 years we have tried our level best to disseminate the message to people from all works of life.We are thankful to the voter and UNEP for the slogan ‘Seven Billion Dreams. One Planet. Consume with Care’. We consider this is institutionalization of our appeal.
To attain the resilient and resource efficient cities; sustainable transport and mobility; and integrated solid waste management, globe in need of resource efficient individual, institution, organization finally the government. To materialize the utmost need, we are in needing voice from each corner of globe. Since 2011 we approached to the honorable minister for environment and forest & minister for education of Bangladesh to have an initiative to keep a sasrai banner in each educational institution in honor of world environment day. Based on our appeal honorable Divisional Commissioner of Chittagong passed a request to all Deputy Commissioner of his division to do the same.
Bringing behavioral and attitudinal change is the toughest job and we have no chance to spare a single second. Nature demands absolute care that includes concerted, cooperative and collaborative effort. UNEP could have an initiative to get each UN office and official - resource efficient first. And keeping a sasrai banner at each office gate across the globe for one week June 03 to 07 in honor of World Environment Day could be the first step.
Scientists estimate that humans will consume twice as many resources as the planet can support by 2050. At the rate things are going, the Earth in the coming decades could cease to be a “safe operating space” for human beings. The Planet is in Need of Each Creature Equality, Gender Equality and `sasrai’ Living (Stop Consumption Slavery or Stop Advertisement Administered Lifestyle). Albert Einstein opine "Those who have the privilege to know have the duty to act."

NB.
a. Since 2004 we worked without any financial assistance from any donor. We volunteered aimed at better earth for each creature. We believe voluntarism needed to be Prudent, Provident, Proficient and Relentless, Fearless, Greedless. We must have zeal to offer a habitable earth to our next generation. We owe to our next generation to offer the earth as we received and we vow to be unswerving, unshakeable.
b. Humanity in need of Climate Responsible Community, Climate Compatible Development. sasrai ONLY THE PATH TO SAVE MOTHER PLANET EARTH, NATURE. sasrai only the path to Eliminate Racial Discrimination - End violence against WOMEN and CHILDREN. sasrai only the path to end POVERTY, VULNERABILITY, HUNGER, DISASTER, CLIMATE Threat. Each second, minute, hour day needed to be spent considering earth, environment and humanity. We must get each child caring to each particle of food and resource. Wish the Peace, Justice, Dignity and Rights for each - save a bit, reserve, preserve, rejuvenate and conserve resources.
c. Scientist Opine
Earth is halfway to being inhospitable to life
We have already crossed four “planetary boundaries.” They are the extinction rate; deforestation; the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere; and the flow of nitrogen and phosphorous (used on land as fertilizer) into the ocean. Scientist shown human activities — economic growth, technology, consumption — are destabilizing the global environment,”
"Human security will be progressively threatened as the climate changes," the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCCC) warned in its overview report. The Pentagon agrees. "Rising global temperatures, changing precipitation patterns, climbing sea levels, and more extreme weather events will intensify the challenges of global instability, hunger, poverty and conflict,"
Scientists estimate that humans will consume twice as many resources as the planet can support by 2050. At the rate things are going, the Earth in the coming decades could cease to be a “safe operating space” for human beings.
