We proudly signed a Memorandum Of Understanding (MOU) with Peace Corps and welcomed a STEM volunteer teacher from California, USA, on 10 May 2024. Living with a local host family, she has embraced our culture while transforming science education at Viedgesville Primary School through hands-on, engaging lessons.
