LOOKING FOR PEOPLE TO HELP

The education of our children is one of our biggest challenges.  Having a good grounding is the surest way to ensure future academic success and a high road out of poverty.

Please come and volunteer and be 'a parent' for our children when doing homework in the afternoons.  Together we will make a difference and this work is too important and too big to do alone!
