'a pó is supported entirely by donations. There are a number of ways that you can contribute to our success. The program is in constant search for volunteer instructors (from all scientific fields), equipment for future projects, and funding. Download a brochure here.
Donations
'a pó currently operates on a minimal budget.
However, to develop the program we are seeking to expand our budget. Funds
help to make purchases required for instruction and field research, and with
enough financial support the program may be able to offer a modest stipend
for instructors. All donations are tax-deductible
in the United States. To make a financial contribution, please contact Britton
Shepardson (terevaka.net
gmail.com).
Equipment
Given the rich cultural heritage of Rapa Nui, 'a
pó takes archaeological research as its foundation for instruction and
enrichment. However, in order to conduct high-caliber archaeological surveys,
the program is in desperate need of basic equipment. Digital cameras, a laptop
computer, and a total mapping station are instruments vital to archaeological
survey that the program needs most urgently. Check our wishlist
page to see what else we are looking for from time to time. To donate
equipment, please contact terevaka.netgmail.com.
Volunteer Instructors
Rapa Nui presents an ideal setting for scientific research
of all kinds. 'a pó offers housing for graduate students that wish
to conduct long-term research. In exchange, researchers are asked to develop
a curriculum for local Rapa Nui high school students and teach courses at
the local museum within their field of specialization. Graduate students from
all fields interested in this opportunity are encouraged to contact terevaka.netgmail.com and develop a brief
proposal.
