David and Donna Frieze of Boston married in the summer of 2007. They requested that in lieu of wedding gifts their friends and family send donations to DPDO. The result is a fund dedicated to the construction of a new high school in El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur.
The North Darfur State Government has allocated 4,000 square meters of land in a commercial district of El Fasher town. A blueprint has been drafted; construction will be begin in Fall 2008.
The new facility will feature the only computer lab in a Sudanese high school, equipped with fifty computers donated by Strayer University.
Other major initiatives of the school will include English language classes and a library containing both Arabic and English books.
The school will enroll youth who have been displaced and/or orphaned by the conflict.
DPDO is accepting young-adult literature, math and science textbooks. To donate, please contact Katherine Naugle
