approved by the Grants Panel based on the original application. Please include the number of events,
participants, locations and audience to be served. Also, please include a brief statement indicating how this
event will be made available to the public.
NARRATIVE OR DESCRIPTION:
The funding from this grant will make it possible for us to purchase materials for 4 kite design workshops
in the public schools on Miami Beach. These workshops will take place in the four months preceding the
International Kite Festival which takes place the 3rd weekend of April, 1999. Miami Beach students will be
encouraged to enter their hand-made kites in the kite contests on Field Trip Day - April 16th; they will also
be encouraged to fly their kites with the international Kite Masters on April 17th and 18th, during the festival.
Necessary changes in the program (if any) if funding received is less than original request:
The original project is scaled back in terms of time and level of sophistication for the children's workshops.
We still expect to give up to 500 students an introductory experience of kite design, building and flying.
We will also work with any teachers who want to carry the project through to higher levels by giving time
and expertise to their projects.
