Jethro School Students, Staff Jethro School Classroom
Jethro School is in Kawanda, Uganda. Jethro was Pastor Mary Okell's first school. Oboi Alex, First Fruits Schools Director, writes: "The school was started to help the growing number of AIDS orphans that could not get an education. We started with 15 orphans but now many of the needy families too have brought in their children to also have an education. Our schools now support a total of 370 children who are all in the primary level.”

bricks and put up the structure. Students are ready but the school building needs a roof,
furniture and supplies. A few classes meet outside.
