La escuela Jesus Vienne is a place of love and learning. It is a safe place for students to hear about the love of God and to experience it first hand through the teachers' encouraging words and the fellowship of the student body.

Public schools in San Raymundo are over-crowded and under staffed so, as a result, the quality of education is very poor.

Sponsorship of students allows the staff to be provided with a small salary and to help in the expenses of the supplies needed to keep classes running. Groups that sponsor children at the school are encouraged to make a trip, meet the students and create ties that encourage students to do well and show the visiting team the value of sponsorship.

The board at Jesus Vienne Church has a vision to build a new school that will equip children in the community with a strong, Christian-based education, especially for those students who are not currently attending school because of financial difficulties.

The building will be an extension of the church, with classrooms doubling as Sunday School space.

Struggling families supported by local resources

Jesus Vienne School’s student body has increased to 130 students and 14 teachers. The local church supports the education of 25 of these students, and the rest are encouraged to pay their own tuition. However, this is often a struggle for more families than just those of the 25 students.

Pastor Victor’s family continues to work hard to support the school through a chair rental business, a notary/law business, a small store run from the house, and teaching music lessons. The family is working hard to start a sponsorship program with American supporters to lessen the load on the church. The entrepreneurial spirit of this school and family is a blessing to many.
