THE FOUNDATION:

The schools are based on a Bangladeshi cultural heritage and basic Christian values ​​such as equality and respect for fellow human beings. Schools want to influence the community and therefore take up pupils from all walks of life. It offers the opportunity to involve the parents in the school board and thereby promote understanding of democracy and equality. The schools absorb students from all religious directions: Islam, Hinduism and Christianity, thus helping to promote friendship and dialogue among students and parents. Therefore, teaching is as far as possible in English - with the exception of mother tongue education - to allow the provincial children to familiarize themselves with the language and thus get the opportunity to take a higher education. Volunteers from Denmark help teachers improve their English, play with the students and bear the place's fundamental values. VISION:
