Margai Newsletter
Due to the closure of the British Council, we are currently unable
to publish our newsletter. We will keep you posted in the New
Year as to when our next newsletter will be available.
May I also take this opportunity to wish
you Merry Christmas and a peaceful New Year. Barbara Davidson
The Milton Margai School for the
Blind was founded in May 1956.
There are presently 88 pupils and
7 teachers.
The school follows a normal Primary
curriculum but with extra emphasis on Braille reading and writing
and on typing.
The school has seen through the recent
turmoil of Sierra Leone's savage civil war. A number of pupils were
blinded by rebels during the conflict, and many others were affected
through loss of family members.
The school has the most basic of
facilities, but strives hard and does achieve high academic standards.
This website has been created to
increase awareness of the work the school carries out, as well as
highlighting the way in which recently the school has travelled
internationally to entertain audiences with its music.
Thank you for visiting our site and
showing your support for our efforts.
