The association between We Can and La Martiniere for Boys has been quite
satisfying and rewarding. Some of our students with difficulties in learning and
retention have benefitted greatly from their remedial classes and this has
increased their confidence and motivation. It takes great courage to change
tradition and forge new paths by thinking differently; We at La Martiniere will
continue to do so, with help from organizations like We Can. Your services and
friendship are greatly appreciated.
