ABSTRACT
********

Sunchild E-Learning is a leader in on-line educational delivery to Aboriginal Communities in Canada using technology to advance aboriginal inclusion in higher education and the work force, making a difference in the lives of Aboriginal Students.

Partnering with major oil and gas companies, and Aboriginal Communities, Sunchild E-Learning provides educational opportunities to aboriginal students on reserve and in urban settings, enabling them to complete their High School Diplomas, move onto University and College or Trades, and close the gap that exists between the Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal communities in terms of quality of life and opportunity.
