Derismont Roobens and his friends had long been dreaming of starting a school in Cazale for children who otherwise wouldn’t be able to attend. In 2016 they made that dream a reality.
In cooperation with sponsors from the United States, Canada, Poland and many other countries funds are raised to support teachers, provide lunch, buy supplies and complete building projects..
.
The school began with 140 students in grades K-4. The next year they expanded , adding a fifth grade class and 40 more student. Each year a new grade has been added, so that now there are over 350 students in grades Pre-K through S2 (11th grade)
The school is brimming with kids that want to learn. A piece of property was donated to the school and now it is exciting to see a new building being started. See more on the “School Building” page.
The school is a sponsor project of the Lazarus Commission and tax deductible donations can be made through PayPal or by check mailed to:
