    November 19, 2017 /

    What is #GivingTuesday??  #GivingTuesday is the international day of giving that kicks off the charitable end of the year giving season. After the busiest shopping days of the year (Black Friday and Cyber Monday) we will all be talking about how much money we spent on Christmas gifts.  #GivingTuesday gives us an opportunity to balance our collective conscience by “giving back” to organizations we LOVE! We ask that Friends of John Paul School will be one of the charities you LOVE and support our project – details below – when you chose to support us this year on #GivingTuesday, November 28, 2017                                     When you choose to support Friends of John Paul School on #GivingTuesday this year, your donation will be used to help build a new 160 bed girl’s dormitory.  Construction began last month and is expected to be completed in…

    John Paul Secondary School Celebrates its 10th Anniversary!

    August 24, 2017 /

      Paul and I recently returned from our annual visit to the school.  It was wonderful seeing all the students again and to witness, first hand all the progress that occurred over the past year!               This year has been a very busy one at JPSS! The campus was expanded to include a beautiful new Teacher Housing unit.  This structure contains four apartments, each with its own kitchen. Two of the units are 2-bedroom and the other two units are 1-bedroom.  This building is a very important addition to the school as it will allow us to attract better qualified teachers to this very…

    Teacher Housing Update 2016

    Construction of Teacher housing at JPSS  – 2016 Update! We are so grateful to everyone who helped raise the necessary funds for the teacher housing at JPSS during the Brick-by-Brick Campaign.  Because of your generosity, construction has begun and great progress is being made.  We could never do it without you!  We expect the housing to be completed by the end of February 2017…just in time for the beginning of the school term! As you will see from the photos, construction in this part of the world is not easy.  Much of the work is done manually and depends a lot on the weather as well.  When the rain comes,…
