It is important that schools grow if they are to meet the growing needs of students. The New Dawning school was founded in 1991, meeting in adobe buildings with tin roofs, and no place for the children to play. Today, the school includes a covered basketball court (a must during the rainy season), a multi-purpose room, a par, and seven classrooms. The original adobe rooms now house a computer center, library and administrative offices. All of these have ben funded by groups, without using any funds from the sponsorship program, which specifically ge to academics-related expenses.
