Ironwood Ridge High School The Angola Project 2007-2009 |

The Angola Project is a collaborative effort of students and adults in Tucson, AZ working together to make a difference in Angola. The Angola Project started in 2007 when three Ironwood Ridge High School students decided they wanted to "take action." Ironwood Ridge High School, Grace Community Church, and many other schools, churches, teams, and local businesses have partnered for the last three years to send a shipping container filled with school supplies, clothing, and soccer equipment to rural Angola. These containers have arrived and the supplies and clothing have been distributed to those most in need. In 2010, the students at Ironwood Ridge, along with support from other schools and members of The Tucson community, have set the challenging goal of building a school in Angola. One L-shaped school will allow 500 children to attend school in a village where no school currently exists. Their efforts are making a difference. A fundraising page has been set up for online donations. |
