"SPRING OF HEALING" ACADEMY

2019 – 2026

The story of this school was all about "NO"

NO Food NO Water NO Lavatories NO Clothes NO Shoes NO Chairs NO Desks NO Books NO HOPE.

Could we pretend it was not happening?
NO! We couldn't!
For us, this was the only acceptable negation in this story, so we did what was necessary so that all the "NO"s would turn into YES, because we knew that it is up to each and one of us, and together, we could be a family for these children and become their support and strength for a better future.
