White Lotus Group, HELP Foundation To Develop Learning Community Center of South Omaha

OMAHA, Neb. - June 26, 2013 - PRLog -- White Lotus Group and the HELP Foundation of Omaha will work together to develop the Learning Community Center of South Omaha, which is expected to be open to the public by Fall 2013. The Learning Community Center of South Omaha will serve as a family literacy program for families in and around south Omaha, Nebraska.

Formerly an Omaha Public Library building, the Learning Community Center of South Omaha will be used to expand the organization’s family literacy program and to provide English and computer classes to any interested families. The community center will focus on building literacy opportunities where children can read books and play with toys.

“Expanding the center in the heart of South Omaha allows the Learning Community to help more students succeed in elementary school,” said Ted Stilwill, Chief Executive Officer of the Learning Community (New home for Learning Community Center of South Omaha, 2013). “We are well on our way to a proven family literacy model that we can share throughout high poverty areas in the Learning Community.”

Construction for the Learning Community Center of South Omaha project will be provided by Ronco Construction of Omaha. An expected $750,000 is planned to be invested in the project, by White Lotus Group and other investors.

The Learning Center of Douglas and Sarpy Counties will be holding a public meeting at 6:00 p.m. on May 16, 2013, at the University of Nebraska at Omaha Thompson Center. For more information on meeting details, refer to http://www.learningcommunityds.org.
