Village to Village
"It takes a village to raise a child," and it certainly takes many
villages to build a school! Our Village-to-Village campaign began with
Marblehead Village School, which extended its help to the village of
Wunlang. Then followed Lynn Classical High School and the Brookwood
School of Manchester, MA.
Other "villages" have followed. Among the communities of faith, we have
been helped by First Lutheran Church of Lynn,
St. Paul Lutheran Church
of Arlington, Trinity Baptist Church of Arlington, and the Lutheran
Church of Newton. Among service organizations, Rotary International has
been most helpful. We've made several presentations to Rotary Clubs
around greater Boston, and we enjoyed a workshop on Rotary's literacy
program, the Concentrated Language Encounter.
As the villagers in Wunlang have finished their bricks and wait for the
arrival of our construction manager, perhaps your "village" -- your
school, your house of worship, your club -- would be moved to join our
village. Feel free to contact us us about a presentation.
Our Village-to-Village program coordinator is Alex Rittershaus. You can see what he was able to accomplish at his high school here.
