Day of Hope—Classrooms for Africa Project
What Can Your School Do?
The Need:
The African Christian Schooling movement is growing faster than schools can be built.
The Goals:
To provide assistance to communities who have taken on the challenge of educating children living in poverty.
To build and equip classrooms and provide teacher training.
The Focus:
The area from Sudan down the east coast of Africa to South Africa, with initial emphasis on SA and Zimbabwe in the south and Uganda and Sudan in the east.
- The cost to build a classroom ranges from $6,000–$10,000 Canadian dollars, depending on the location.
- Your school could set a goal of raising enough money on the Day of Hope to build a partial wall, one or two walls, or possibly a whole school.
- Choose a day in the next few months to take part in our annual Day of Hope Fundraiser.
- A promotional flyer outlining the approved projects and other details is available.
- A “student friendly” PowerPoint is available by contacting our Dunamis Education.

Independent Regional Science Fair (IRSF)
The IRSF is an opportunity for students of various ACSI/independent schools to present a science experiment of their own design within one of a variety of categories. The fair will support the development of scientific knowledge, the expansion of creative thinking and design and collaboration between students. Participants will be evaluated by a panel of experienced professionals (either teachers or individuals working in a scientific field), who will be trained in advance by our head judges. Prizes will be awarded within grade levels in a variety of categories, and scholarships will be offered to the top senior projects. Winners in each category will be invited to the Simon Fraser Regional Science Fair in April 2011 to present their projects for additional award and scholarship opportunities.
