1. GRAND BOULAGE SCHOOL “It’s more than just a building, it’s a place for a community to gather, learn, share faith and grow!” Mr. Pierre, Principal

2. GRAND BOULAGE HISTORY Originally founded in 1993, the Grand Boulage School was no more than a tent with makeshift benches. In 1999 the community began receiving assistance from the Embassy of Germany to build a new school, but the school was in very bad condition and the money ran out. The community leaders never lost the vision of building a community with the school and requested help from different world organizations. Food For The Poor responded.
