From the transcript
So PAL also, um, through their education We started Pacific Island Education Scholarship in 2021, and currently we have 18 students that's already awarded for this scholarship, and that's about $21,600 that went into this tier set continuing education, which is an important thing that we want to see is students continue education. We don't want them to drop out from school and not continue education and then ended up being out on the street or no place to stay. So through the education, we do annual multicultural students education summit, which we started in 2023, '24, '25, and then we're waiting now on currently on 2026. We're gonna be partnered with Alaska Youth Court and also Keys to Life to bring a multicultural education summit to Anchorage. And through education also, we started a senior planning project with community churches, and then we were looking to work with our churches.
