Bringing the Classroom to the Student

Bringing the Classroom to Underserved Students

Teacher Jeanette — No Child Left Behind

We don’t know how much potential these kids have, but there is one way to find out! By providing access to quality education, we bring the classroom to the students. Preparing students with a solid educational foundation will make a difference in the lives of these children as they prepare for their educational journey.

Teacher Jeanette is an initiative that emphasizes the academic development of young children by making available books and workbooks that help teachers inspire literacy and learning for children in developing African countries by publishing academic books students can relate to culturally.

We started our Teacher Jeanette—No Child Left Behind program in Montserrado and Margibi Counties in 2021. The program has expanded to two locations in Bong County (Gbarnga and Borlorla Town).

Peter W. Sayklon Orphanage

Assembly at Sayklon Orphanage

The Peter W. Sayklon Orphanage was established on October 10, 1993, under the dynamic leadership of Rev. Peter W. Sayklon and Mother Martha Sayklon in Sinoe County. Through the inspiration and the Grace of God, when the rebel faction called Liberia Peace Council (LPC) attacked Greenville, Sinoe County, citizens fled into the bushes for fear of heavy firing, leaving children of all ages alone. These children cried bitterly for their parents, who were nowhere to be found. The situation was sorrowful that by God’s grace, Rev. Sayklon and his wife decided to take care of the children whose parents were missing. Fourteen children were first rescued and brought into their care for protection and provided for their basic needs.

In 1996 when Liberia was safe, the Sayklons returned to Monrovia with the 14 children, only to escape again in April of the same year due to another war breakup. They fled to Todee District. They moved from Todee District to the 1st Sherman Farm area to settle where the orphanage is now, land owned by the Sayklons in Margibi County. Sixty-one children live at the Peter W. Sayklon orphanage.

The decision to establish the NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND rural community program this year in Borlorla Town, Sanoyea District – Bong County was made following assessments of two other rural communities in order to identify the community in the highest need of the NCLB-Liberia Program with the following as triggering factors to selecting a community: Lack of School/ Educational facilities within the community, cases of out-of-school children present due to financial crisis faced by the child’s/children’s parents and/or distance barrier experienced by the kids to access the nearby educational facility or school. The total number of kids recruited is fifty (50) from Borlorla Town and two nearby small towns (Naypay’s Town and Manakporlorsue).
