Continued development is essential to give handicapped children access to education. Our only funding comes from the St Paul of Chartres Convent and it is too limited to cover our costs. We are therefore seeking donations for:
+ Equipping classes;
+ Paying salaries to therapists and specialists;
+ Organising training courses for teachers and other staff;
+ Referring chronic cases to health care and mental health care professionals;
+ Sharing knowledge and teaching and treatment experience with local and international specialists.
