| 説明 | Engineering the path to successBy Kim MatthewsLOS ANGELES – Los Angeles District Deputy Commander Lt. Col. Steven Sigloch introduced Lisa Ruben of United Way at the National Women’s History Month program at the district headquarters, March 27, by saying that today, women outnumber men in colleges and universities.Ruben’s talk focused on United Way’s participation in education, especially in the Los Angeles Unified School District, stating that “education is the best pathway out of poverty.” She emphasized that STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) is a major part of the way to economic growth.She went on to describe various ways schools, families and communities play important parts in the success of children and in keeping them in school. Ruben also listed how United Way works toward this, including research, grants and partnering with school officials.Ruben was followed by a musical program by Makoto Taiko, a Japanese drum ensemble, including District employee Jane Grandon, located in Pasadena. Some of the group members construct their own drums. The Makoto Taiko website (www.makototaiko.org/) states, “Makoto is a fundamental character trait that includes such higher qualities as sincerity, truthfulness, altruism, reliability, and integrity. Makoto has a broad, yet profound, meaning that cannot be summarized in just one or two words because its meaning varies according to specific context. A person has makoto when his actions are in alignment with his words and ideals, and these words emulate the basic foundation of our drumming.”The Women’s History Month program concluded with the second annual Women of the Los Angeles District Art Show. Displays included textiles, ceramic works and paintings by women and family members of the Los Angeles District team. |
