The Konkourona Alliance Foundation (KAFO), Inc. in the United States works with the Mami Siara Na Association of Konkourona (MSN) on all development projects with KAFO providing strategic direction and funding and MSN identifying community needs and mobilizing the community to help implement projects. KAFO and MSN leaders convened at the end of March to discuss higher education needs for the village of Konkourona and 11 surrounding villages. MSN leaders recommended that a vocational high school be built first to meet the needs in the region. They identified the following possible courses of study:
MSN leaders met with village elders to share their vision for the school.
A survey will now be conducted of the students to determine their interests to prioritize the classrooms to be built first. An initial meeting was held with the builder to discuss the strategy and he recommended meeting with the Directors of similar schools that are running well. Those meetings will be held in the coming weeks.
