FLAMBOYANT SPECIAL SCHOOL

Flamboyant Special School was founded by the Sisters of Mercy and is currently operated by the Brothers of Charity.  This school serves 118 special needs children and we have funded many programs there including Scotty’s Garden, Karen’s Play Park, Fenny’s House, Connor’s Toy Box and Delilah’s Music Box.  We have provided new uniforms for all the children and established a chicken program.  This year we traveled by bus and plane for a day to reach Mazabuka in Zambia to visit the school for the first time. 

We were excited to dedicate a bus purchased with a grant from the Kevin E. Myers Foundation in honor of Sr. Claudia Bradley. We were also thrilled to host a fishing competition at Jenn Lake, the new fish pond built in memory of Jennifer Powell Smith and funded by her Dad, Boog.

The school hosted a party at Karen’s Play Park.  We distributed Shoes That Grow, Scott’s Legacy t-shirts, school supplies, sports equipment, fishing gear and outreach bags.  We refilled Connor’s Toy Box and Delilah’s Music Box.

The children performed native dances and celebrated our visit. We thank Brother Floyd and Brother Matthew for hosting our visit.
