Funding

We have received a total of $6,500 toward the following upgrades and another $14,500 is required. These upgrades would have the most beneficial effect:

• Add wainscot high wall ceramic tiles in all classrooms, corridors and main stair for cleanliness and ease of maintenance.
• Add additional landscaping to screen the abandoned building from view on the adjacent site. This building faces the front entrance of the new school.
• Substitute hydraulic for the electric driven handicapped elevator specified. This will double the archive space in the attic.
• Substitute wood parquet floor for the carpet specified in the pre-school. This will wear better and is healthier for the children.

We sincerely request your continue to support the project.

• Project Mission

  A devastating earthquake left many children from the villages of Caykisla, Seyh and Saricalar victimized and in many cases orphaned. These bright and eager children need a school where their young minds will develop to more fully realize their innate potential. The intent of this project is to build a new Primary School in the Village of Çaykişla by August 2009, the 10-year anniversary of the earthquake. To be part of this worthy effort is a debt due from our past to future generations.
