After working in the U.S. for many years, it was his desire to return to Liberia in retirement to provide opportunities for the children of his village. Unfortunately his sudden death in 2011 prevented him from realizing his dream. His wife, Esther, however was so inspired that she was determined to pursue Francis’ dream.  She and other family members pressed forward by making plans for the 400 acres of land in the village of Waynila, Bong County.  In 2013, land was cleared and construction begun on the school building. After the school building was completed, teachers were recruited and on September 21, 2015, the first classes were held for the 350 enrolled students, pre-K to 7th grade. In the spring of 2016, a well was installed on the property to provide a clean water source.  The first Kindergarten graduation was held in June of 2016 for 18 children. With the opening of the 2016 school year in September, the vocational training program was launched, offering the opportunity for students to begin learning the trades of carpentry, masonry, and agriculture.
