Our Beginnings

In the early 1960’s we met in the patio of a house for English classes and typing training on three used typewriters on top of a board over two empty five-gallon buckets.

These are pictures from 1970:

Thanks to donations from people like you, we have grown from extremely meager existence into a school with computer and science laboratories, three classrooms, a library, restrooms with running water, a kitchen and lunchroom that provides two free meals per day to our students. Hungry or sick students are not able to learn!
