New dormitory

The College has about reached its maximum growth: we want to know every student, and train professionals in every dimension, and knowing them each as a person is part of that. However, we would also like them to be comfortable: many of them still sleep barracks-style, 20 to a room! To help us alleviate this problem, we approached the Japanese Embassy for help -- and they responded!

In February, Fr. Freddy and I went to the Embassy of Japan to receive a check for $100,000 to build a new dormitory on the lower campus for young women. This will alleviate the crowding in the dorms, and compliment the new dormitory on the upper campus.

We now do our small part for Japan with our prayers for their safety.
