In addition,we organise many entrepreneurial activities and problem solving courses like recycling of plastic,permaculture and basic farming skills to give the children sustainable future.
There are local teachers in the school but not much to all subjects because we have limited funding to pay their salaries,therefore volunteers have much jobs to do with us.

It is also a centre for environmental development and preservation.
Major activities like farm chores, tree planting and recycling is done here.

Our volunteer nurses contribute much to this program by offering support to local health team to address basic challenges in areas with no health facilities.
