EDUCATION
Education is necessary for long term well being of any community. Community support of the school proves that the group is committed to the future and willing to change when necessary to survive. Often nomadic families want to build a small house to settle a part of the family next to the well and school, the remainder taking the herds out to pasture, retaining their nomadic lifestyle and traditional means of survival.
ONGOING PROJECTS
Girka School opened 2000
Aboye school opened 2005. By January all the kids could count to 100 in french and knew the alphabet
School visit with Sidi, Jill and Marla in February 2006. They were starting addition and subtraction. None of these children had ever been to school before.
Sports are important for the good health of the students and are a part of all our school programs. For children without television they are also great entertainment. This program was aided by the Brian family who brought soccer balls.
The new school in the new community of Ojai at Peroji's camp has just opened April 2006. There are 51 students.
