Sister Anissa McLendon is a Teacher Assistant in the Chapel Hill Carrboro City School system. She
and a friend, Lee Moavenzadeh who operates Kamal Academy, saw a need for middle school kids to
be exposed to STEM programs. They had a one-week camp last summer for 15 students and now are
planning a three-week camp for 30 students. It is entitled E3 Camp—Empowering Excellence
Through Exploration. They are not charging students to attend. They have received some fund from
school system and individual donations and will be using a school for camp. Confirmed presenters
include doctors, researchers, local fire department personnel and a least one military pilot who are
coming free. Activities will include class instruction and field trips (one will be to NC A&T State
University) which the students in the first camp loved.
The camp is coming up a little short of funds to cover the whole three weeks and are seeking
donations.
Questions should be directed to Anissa or Lee. Their contact information is on the flyer.
E3 Camp—Empowering Excellence Through Exploration
May 15, 2019
Dear Friends,
Only 8% of African-Americans make up the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math
(STEM) workforce. The Empowering Excellence Through Exploration Camp (E3 Camp) was
established in order to introduce students of color to hands-on experimental activities, art skills and
STEM field trips. The primary goal of the program is to provide opportunities for individuals to
become productive citizens in the 21st century workforce. Seventeen campers (middle and high
schoolers) attended the first E3 Camp in July 2018. An array of well-known community presenters
inspired campers and assisted in helping make each campers experience a success.
After receiving inspiring information from camper’s post- surveys, Lee Moavenzadeh and I felt
compelled to have another camp this July. We would like to increase the number of campers from
seventeen to thirty, from three field trips to six and extending the camp from five days to fifteen days.
The U.S Department of Education reports that “success is driven not only by what you know, but by
what you can do with what you know.” It’s more important than ever for our youth to be equipped with
the knowledge and skills to solve tough problems, gather and evaluate evidence, and make sense of
information. These are the types of skills that students learn by studying science, technology,
engineering, and math—subjects collectively known as STEM. We feel that by exposing students of
color to these opportunities will begin the journey for a more level playing field. We realize that
economic resources are limited.
However, we offer an opportunity that will directly impact students in our communities,
neighborhoods, and school district. We humbly request for you to help close the opportunity gap
of many students in Chapel Hill. We hope you feel strongly about E3 Camp and will give a tax-
deductible contribution towards our $8,000 camp budget. The camp is sponsored by Kamal Academy,
an interfaith S.T.E.A.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics) school.
We thank you in advance for your consideration of this request. Checks can be made out to
Kamal Academy – place on memo line, E3 Camp. For more information please contact:
