Forgotten No More!
R.O.C.K. Furniture for the Teahplay School
The great news is that the Village of Teahplay, Nimba County, Liberia now has a decent school building and R.O.C.K. has officially adopted the Teahplay School. This is a partnership with the school that allows us to help to solve problems which negatively affect education at the school, helping to provide quality education, improved sanitation and increase graduation rates.
Students and teachers at the Teahplay School no longer must sit on floors pr planks. In April 2024, R.O.C.K. donors helped to provide desks, chairs and blackboards for each classroom.
