M.A.L.E. provides book scholarships to 2 young men
At a session held in the halls of the Althea Scatliffe Primary School on Saturday September 13, 2014, Pastor Henderson K. Tittle spoke to this news site explaining the rationale behind the giving of the awards.
“Today we gave out a book scholarship to one of the M.A.L.E. representatives and what we did we went to the different graduations and we look for the most improved boy and from the Willard Wheatley Primary School we have Shaquan S. Lowry,” he said.
“We have also Michael G. Ricketts who has received a book scholarship for the entire term and for every A that he receives a sum of $10 will be placed on his account in M.A.L.E.,” said Pastor Tittle. King Solomon's Ashlars Lodge #778 (KSA), a local Pince Hall Masonic Fraternity, through M.A.L.E., provided the book scholarship for Michael.
"We just wanted to showcase this. M.A.L.E. is about reaching the boys. What we are really teaching them is about being responsible. We want to see how they would take care of their books and everything assigned to them,” he said, on the interactive session that was in progress.
“Teaching them about responsibility is part of our core values that we are doing,” he said.
He noted that over the summer the boys had to look at the book The Pentateuch by Ayana S. Hull “and their assignment was to read pages 26, 27 and 28 which talks about the story of Cain and Abel and we’re teaching them how to work together as brothers instead of fighting.”
M.A.L.E. is an initiative of the New Life Baptist Church and it aims to develop young men using the teachings of the Bible.
