Jesus Love Migrant Learning Center

  • Jesus Love Learning Centre

Jesus Love School was founded in 2013 with 2 teachers and 30 students, offering classes from Kindergarten to Grade 1. In the early days of the school’s establishment, the school hired a transportation vehicle to ferry students from their homes to the school. The transportation fees were provided by a Korean mission organization. The school ran on the voluntary contributions of the teachers.

In 2016, the school joined the BMWEC and received curriculum and stationary support from the organization, which was very helpful for the learning center. Teachers’ salaries were partially provided by church donations.  The staff lives together within the church compound to share expenses while carrying out their teaching duties all year round.

In the 2022-2023 academic year, after many trials and tribulations, the learning Centre has expanded and now offers all levels through Grade 8.
