Americans build an International School in India for 450 students with an air conditioned computer lab

The school at the top of the page is the Grace Home #2 children's new school. It is located on the Grace Home #2 campus. The children have a short walk to the building. The school has a computer lab with 40 computers and a server. The computer lab is air conditioned and has a generator to supply electricity in case the state operated power grid goes down. The air conditioned room is to protect the computers from the summer heat that sometimes gets over 100 F. We plan to put a formal clinic in the last 2 classrooms on your left. The clinic will serve the orphans and the children paying tuition, the staff and the village people living outside our gates. Our school is the first true International school in a city of 300,000. The school will employ 1). Specially trained teachers with a well experienced principal, 2). Specially designed computer lab with LCD projectors, 3). Special focus on spoken English from first year onward through computers, 4). Reasonable fee structure 5). Co-educational, 6). A spacious campus with nice play ground, 7). School bus availability, 8). Regular visits by educational experts for interaction with students. 9). Grace Home #2 campus is secured by a high wall and the entrance is gated.

The school was set up last year by Roger Wiemers, Ph.D., who was in India, studying Indian education, while on a Fulbright Scholarship. The school building was made possible from a gift by Arthur Schaefer and his family to Founding Family. The computers were given by a Google family that wishes to remain anonymous. Founding Family is a humanitarian non-government organization dedicated to helping children here in America and around the world and Founding Family is now partnering with Phillip Morrison and his Children of Promise project that will focus on children's needs from Ethiopia to India.

The school pictured under the children's new school is the Grace Home #2 children's old school. They needed to leave the orphanage and march down a long road to get there. Some times the teachers would not show up and they spent the day on their own.
