Team Objectives

1. Encourage, support and empower people that have endured endless suffering, conveying the partnership, enthusiasm and care of those in the US—churches, schools and small groups working together to help rebuild lives and communities.

2. Extend the heart of RISE’s vision, which is about relationships, deepening our mutual understanding and concern for one another, focusing on people, sharing our lives.

3. Offer training and support to teachers, principals, parents, church, and community leaders.**

4. Visit RISE school sites, document, assess and strategize the Schools for Angola program, to look to the future and the next steps.

5. Participate in the physical building of RISE schools, in particular, one funded by the New Trier Freshman class.

6. Video/photo—to be able to convey life in Angola and the building of a school to those in the U.S.
