Art for Humanity

Pictured is the mother daughter team of Diane & Stephanie Smith from Arlington, VA. They are about to lay the first brick for the new library. They are from Clarendon UMC who provided a matching grant to help get the much needed library project started. While on campus, they have been teaching English and doing […]

An enthusiastic and helpful team from Trinity UMC of  McLean, VA. got on a plane this afternoon after a week with us on the campus of The Leadership Center. During that week on campus, they taught, and helped with various projects and perhaps most importantly of all, they shared life with the students. This is […]

This picture of some of the volunteers swimming at the bottom of the waterfall near campus gives some sense of its size. The volunteers are hardly visible.

Candida, the cook at TLC, has been sleeping in the student dorm but being of a different generation, she likes to go to sleep much earlier than do the students.  So we built a house for her and her children. She loves the peace and quite of her new digs pictured below. Thanks for the […]

Another new couple have joined us. Ben and Martina are spending their first four months of marriage volunteering with us teaching English as well as other classes. Being from London, we suspect their real motive is to help the volunteers from the States to learn correct English pronunciation. The photo is of them while out […]

A big thank you to Dan and Connie Walsdorf for sending nine, brand new yoga mats to the campus!  The students and volunteers are all very excited to no longer have to use blankets and towels for their daily yoga practice.  We have a feeling there will now be a lot less falling!
