Our Students

The kids in the remote villages where we work are simply wonderful. While they are like kids anywhere -- silly, energetic, in love with soccer or books -- they are also incredibly motivated. We are inspired by their dedication to learning and to improving their lives, and we hope you are too. Explore just a few of their stories here. Can't get enough? Check out previous years' stories.
