THE CHAPEL'S MAIN CONSTRUCTION IS COMPLETE AND FINAL PAYMENT REMITTED. CURRENTLY, FEEDBACK IS MONITORED TO IDENTIFY ONGOING REQUESTS RELATED TO THE CHAPEL'S FURNISHING/UPKEEP. THE JOAQUIN R. ESCOBAR FOUNDATION AWARDED SCHOLARSHIPS IN 2016-2019. THE SCHOLARSHIP IN 2018 WAS A CARRYOVER OF 2017. THE SCHOLARSHIPS ARE FOR UNIVERSITY FEES, SUCH AS FOOD, DORMITORY, LAB, ETC. AT THE UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES (UP) FOR A SANTA MARIA STUDENT FITTING UP'S SCHOLARSHIP REQUIREMENTS AND SELECTION PROCESS. IN 2018, CONTINUING REPAIR, RELOCATION BETWEEN BUILDINGS, AND REPROGRAMMING ON LA ASUNCION DE LA NUEVA CHURCH IN STA. MARIA WAS NECESSARY FROM POST HURRICANE CONSTRUCTION. FINAL REPAIRS AND COSTS RELATED TO THE ELECTRONIC CARILLON INSTALLATION MATERIALS, SOFTWARE PROGRAMMING, AND BATTERY REPLACEMENT ARE EXPECTED IN 2019. THE MAJORITY OF THE FOUNDATION'S WORK AND EXPENSES ARE CENTERED ON THIS PROGRAM. CURRENT ACTIVITIES INCLUDE WEBSITE AND BROCHURE DESIGN FOR ADVERTISEMENT OF FUTURE PROJECTS. AS NOTED EARLIER, 2019 PROJECTS INCLUDE A RENEWED SCHOLARSHIP, NAMED AFTER THE FOUNDATION, WITH UP AND FEEDBACK MONITORING FOR THE ISPSC CHAPEL PROJECT. ADDITIONALLY, THE LA ASUNCION DE LA NUEVA CHURCH IN STA. MARIA BELL TOWER CARILLON IS BEING REPROGRAMMED WITH A LOCAL ENGINEER AFTER THE CHURCH AND CONVENT'S BUILDING/ROOF WAS REPAIRED BY UNESCO AND THE PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT FOR HURRICANE DAMAGE INCURRED. UPON BOARD APPROVAL OF PROPOSED PROJECTS, DIRECTOR GILBERT KLEIST WILL TRAVEL TO THE PHILIPPINES AND MANAGE THE JOAQUIN R. ESCOBAR FOUNDATION'S OPERATION ON LOCATION. ON LOCATION OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT REQUIRES 24 HOUR AVAILABILITY FOR PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION, EFFICIENCY, AND SUCCESS. ALL FOUNDATION ACTIVITIES ARE FUNDED BY DONATION FROM SPONSORS, INCLUDING DIRECTORS' CONTRIBUTION. THE DIRECTORS' SERVICES ARE 100% VOLUNTEER EFFORTS AND THEREFORE RECEIVE NO INCOME FOR SERVICES RENDERED. DURING 2020 THE PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT WAS ON LOCKDOWN DUE TO THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC AND THE FOUNDATION WAS UNABLE TO WORK ON ANY PROJECTS. DURING 2021 CONTINUAL ASSESSMENT AND COMMUNICATION WITH CONTACTS ON POTENTIAL PROJECTS IN THE PHILIPPINES HAS SHOWN INCREASED LIMITATIONS, RISKS AND COMPLICATIONS RELATED TO THE CURRENT COVID-19 PANDEMIC WE ARE ANALYZING FUTURE PROJECT OPTIONS.
