!!!CURRENT FUNDRAISING GOAL!!!
We are now increasing our fundraising goal to fund the following projects:
1. A fund of $800 is needed to install flooring for the Principal & Teachers Shared Office with the size of 602 sq ft (56 sq m). This is a wish from the board of principle and teachers that their office will be taken care of after all the essential facilities for students is complete. Taken on March 28, 2021, the photo below shows the shared office with the floor in dirt and sand and must be watered daily to stop the room get very dusty.
2. To support TESL (Teaching English as a Second Language) Fellowship Program. The fund is used for internet data, teaching material, equipment, prizes for students, and unforeseen expenses throughout the ongoing program.
