DEVELOPING SKILLS, CHANGING LIVES
The school is designed and will be built in honor of celebrating the late His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said Al Said for his International Peace Award. Former American President Jimmy Carter presented the award, which was accepted on behalf of His Majesty by long time Omani Minister Responsible for Foreign Affairs H.E. Yousef Abdallah Alawi.
The educational school will be primarily a base for our volunteers with a focus to transform the lives of disadvantaged children, currently living in poverty.
In so doing, communities will be educated by our volunteers, developing more leadership skills, empowerment, quality education, life skills and most importantly – love.
