About this pre-school.
The name is: TUMOU TOU Christian
Pre-school, located in Toulour Village District of East Tondano, North Sulawesi Province, Indonesia.
We were convinced that
good education with a Christian tone is a great need for our children
and our community. Therefore, we are undertaking a leap of faith by
establishing an international and ecumenical school for the children
whose parents certainly can never afford such education, and
therefore it is given freely.
At this time, the class is hosted at my
house, while we are preparing to renovate a building for this
purpose. We have three teachers, including my mother, and 14 kids.
After three years this school will be
handed over to the village's Education Committee, which is consisted
of those who are able, honest, and committed to this cause. Later,
God willing, the foundation will still help providing the curriculum
and teacher training.
The name “TUMOU TOU” is from the
local language, Toudano, meaning “to grow/to give life to a person.” Aside
from learning science, math, and develop their physical abilities in
a Christian environment, the children also learn English and the
local language/culture.
The goal is for the children to develop
good characters and to grow in their full potential as children in a
loving, supporting, and nourishing environment.
