GRACELAND INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL, ZAMFARA STATE, NORTHERN NIGERIA STARTING POINT
Our starting point was a relationship built with Bishop John Danbinta while he was doing a postgraduate degree in Hartford Connecticut. His vision for a school that offered a high quality education for all was inspiring and challenging. We were particularly drawn to the fact that his vision included making a positive contribution toward conflict resolution in a region where communal violence can does erupt from time to time.

He is passionate about the fact that education is such an environment promotes reconciliation and nation building. |
