Migrant Education Even Start (MEES) is a family literacy program focusing on
families who perform migrant agricultural work and related processing.  MEES
projects provide year-round services in adult education/ESL, early childhood
education, parenting education, and interactive literacy activities with
parents and children together (PACT). The program is designed to: assist
parents in obtaining their HS diploma or GED, prepare them to be their
child's first teacher, support developing reading skills in young children,
thus helping migrant families break the cycle of poverty and illiteracy.

The Zippy Application Package (ZAP) for Migrant Education Even Start was
published in the Federal Register on Tuesday, May 30.  The application will
be on-line from May 30 through the July 14, 2000 closing date.  You will
