Year #6 of LIVING WELL'S support of WISDOM
The campus really started taking shape with the addition of classroom building #3 and the beginning of the lunch program for students. A team of 15 volunteers lead VBS for the kids during the summer of 2017.
CAMPUS
Classroom building #3 added two large classrooms, a smaller one for kindergarten, and a small computer lab. Most children in this slum do not have the advantage of having parents who read with them or teach them the alphabet and how to count. This class is limited to 25 students (upper levels have as many as 70!). The children who need the most help are in this class.

LUNCH!
In the beginning WCS served lunch two days/week. The school now serves it four days/week. And it always includes some plant protein. The children would normally eat a dish called "nshima," which is water and meal only, cooked to a mashed potato consistency.
CAMP WISDOM
The LIVING WELL team of 15 led a VBS experience for over 400 children at CAMP WISDOM!
