One World Education continues to be recognized by local foundations, recently receiving a generous grant from The Herb Block Foundation. The foundation, set up to honor the bequest of political cartoonist Herb Block, is committed to defending basic freedoms, combating all forms of discrimination and prejudice and improving the condition of the poor and underprivileged. OWEd was awarded a grant through its Pathways Out of Poverty program, which focuses on helping needy young people and adults gain a quality education.
