When Sister Dorothy left the meeting there was a consideration of a large number of grant proposals. Most of these were not suitable to or in compliance with Koinonia’s guidelines so only the following four were funded:

• The Boys and Girls Club of Cecil County are awarded $1,990.00 to launch a 10 week environmental education and awareness program for young people.

• Earthhome is granted $2,000.00 of which $1,250.00 is to support a worm composter project and $750.00 is to revitalize the medicinal herb garden, (which is harvested and used by holistic practitioners in Baltimore).

• The Bolivian Mission is granted $1,200.00 to nurture the reintroduction of the MACA plant for its nutritional and medicinal purposes.

• The Alliance for Community Education is awarded $2,000.00 to complete a video titled THE ECONOMICS OF PLACE.
