TARA SCHOOL FOR SLUM SQUATTERS
what is the vision?
To seek Character and Career that is Christ like among children at risk.
Why this mission?
We want to see evangelism and excellence in education amongst the 66 Sukumbasi’s (slums) in Kathmandu and beyond because education without Jesus Christ only produces clever devils.
Who are the families?
People at the slum are sweepers, fortune tellers, rag pickers, sand sellers. They are low class workers and many dysfunctional types like drunkards, drug addicts, sex workers, criminals and other victimizers and victims of the urban jungle. They send their children to us.
Whom do we call our leadership team?
We now have a six member leadership team who are all called and trained and qualified to teach. We are trusting the Lord for two more teachers for this challenging informal school.
Which strategy do we employ?
Because 90% of these squatters do not know how to read and write we concentrate on being creative in reading and writing skills.
