A retired septuagenarian couple touring Tanzania with a church group noticed the unusually high incidence of physical handicaps, especially among children. By the time they returned to the United States, Don & Joann Tolmie had committed to fund the construction of a primary school for physically handicapped kids in a rural area in the shadows of Mt. Kilimanjaro. Within two years, the school was up and running … and from the very first class through today, the students of Faraja Primary School have scored among the highest in the nation … proving “disability does not mean inability.”

The number of pieces that needed to fall in place for this school to materialize were truly miraculous. But the more wonderful miracles are the lives that have been forever changed by this remarkable school founded in love and grace … and still operating according to these same qualities. The school continues to be funded almost entirely by individual donations from the U.S.

The photos are both breath-taking and heart-warming … and readers should never again doubt the huge impact that can be made by humble individuals with noble intentions.

Mitch & Mike have donated the book and all proceeds to The Faraja Fund Foundation.
