• RENOVATED buildings for classrooms to educate children
• PROVIDED educational materials and school supplies
• SUPPLEMENTED teachers’ pay to encourage teachers to teach in these hard-to-reach schools in remote areas

• DONATED sports equipment, jerseys, and bicycles to encourage teamwork and exercise
• DISTRIBUTED backpacks to students for school and personal supplies
• DISTRIBUTED expandable sandals that allow feet to grow
• PROVIDED shoes and socks for students—most never had them before
• RENOVATED a building to house THE CENTRE, providing yearly office space, utilities and equipment for THE CENTRE’S staff and volunteers, and classrooms for teaching job skills including sewing, candle making, and computer skills to women and at-risk youth

OUR WISH LIST FOR FUTURE PROJECTS INCLUDES:

• Purchasing and installing computers and networking for students to obtain technical skills and learn about the world
• Providing a local medical clinic where villagers can receive medical attention without “walking” miles for help
