27. We have registered Iyriong Development school in Uganda ...and started in a temporary building

28. The village is 5,000 strong (english speakers) Consisting of subsistence , peasant farmers 1 in 3 children do not go to school TB, Malaria, Malnourishment, HIV are common There is no secondary school available Primary school has 1 teacher to 130 student ratio Books, clean water, shoes and electricity are considered luxury items

31. The purpose of the school is not simply to provide the intellectual tools to gain employment... We will nurture fully rounded children around the principles of love , happiness and passion
