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,…

First a Student—–Now a Teacher
We are so excited to share this amazing story with all of you. In 2007, John Paul Secondary School first opened its doors to 14 eager students. One of those students was Lawrence Omongin. He studied at JPSS for four years and then moved on to higher education. We’re very pleased to announce that Lawrence completed his studies last year and joined the staff at JPSS as a Physics teacher! Lawrence, you are an excellent example to all the students at JPSS. They will look up to you and see that if they study hard they too can someday come back to JPSS as one of the great teachers! Congratulations…
