Noah’s Ark school for children with disabilities opened in September 2015 by members of the Advocates for Children with Disabilities (ACD) parent group. Forty children attend the school and because of limited transportation, most of them stay in the dormitories.  During our visit in August 2016, we found the staff to be friendly and caring.  Unfortunately some parents who enrolled their children in the school have not paid any tuition or returned for their children.  They have been abandoned.  The school desperately needs more teachers however without the tuition from all students, additional teachers cannot be hired.

Last year our 27 Miles for 27 Girls bike ride raised over $1,800 for the LWALA Girls school.  These funds were used to bring electricity to the girl’s dorms and to create a study room that the girls could use at night. 

The funds raised from this year’s charity bike ride will go towards hiring a special education teacher for the Noah’s Ark school for children with disabilities. We are hoping to raise enough funds to support the hiring of a special education teacher for 27 weeks who can train current teachers as they develop effective programs for the school.

Forecast for Sunday is Mostly Sunny and 72 degrees!!  Perfect weather for a bike ride!
