A promising program called Pin@y Educational Partnerships (PEP) is facing a difficult year, where Mayor Gavin Newsome has cut more then $20 thousand of its funding. As a program that gets college students into the classroom to teach students about Filipino American history and issues, it is unique and original. However, being unique and original also means that it is constantly having to prove that it is relevant and applicable. That fact that PEP has educational programs at Longfellow Elementary School, Denman Middle School, Balboa High School, Burton High School, City College of San Francisco, and San Francisco State University should be plenty of evidence that it is relevant and applicable.
The group is holding a fundraiser called Winter Reveal 2009: Revealing Culinary Artistry from Three Filipino American Chefs to make up for the shortfall. You can find more information about it from the PEP Web site at http://www.pepsf.org/.
