THE VILLAGE SYSTEM: Sponsor a Student
🌟 "I am signing up all the way from Singapore because I believe that change starts with education!" — Village Sponsor, Singapore
Students in the pilot don't want to leave when school ends
At St. Anthony's College, 35 Form 1 students are experiencing school differently:
✅ Students from other classes are begging to transfer to the pilot class
✅ 75% of parents in the pilot noticed a significant shift in their son's confidence and ability to express themselves
✅ 200+ people impacted in 3 months (students, parents, teachers and administrators)
✅ School administration wants to expand this school-wide—as quickly as possibleThis is The Village System: Raising self-directed Caribbean leaders in families and schools to create a country that we can all be proud of.
Phase 1 (This Year): Students are learning self-direction through morning gratitude routines , personalized journals, restorative discipline practices, and parent partnerships. They're building individual and school pride, and it's spreading!
But this work needs a village.
Your sponsorship funds the materials and team of educators (1 full-time, 3 part-time) who make this possible through Taekwondo, Bilingual immersion, Permaculture gardening, and Leadership development.

Yes! Purchase multiple sponsorships or contact us for 5+ student packages.Can I use the resources for my own classroom/office/home?
