Sponsoring Early Education
Nestled above a bustling marketplace, in downtown Monrovia, West Africa, is the LMA Daycare, Kindergarten & Elementary School. A school lit by chiseled cinder blocks which allows the sun to flow in serving as a source of light for the school. During our visit to the LMA School, Early Educators demonstrated their success implementing My Little World, winning the "Miss Mary Mack" -Patty Cake Challange and proving the better the knees, the better the squat!
Through the provision of the My Little World educational materials and funds raised from annual concerts and programs, NatiiArts supports the sponsorship of the LMA school and the Wee Care early education program.
Despite the devastation that resulted from the outbreak of Ebola and the worldwide COVID Pandemic, efforts to rebuild and educate continue.

Loving On The Children
The children we met in Liberia, West Africa, both amazed us, garnishing the most beautiful hues of deep brown and bronze, as well as overwhelmed our hearts with their precious spirits, full of love and brilliance. Many tears of joy were shed as we sang, danced and learned together. Through the combined efforts of The World Bank, United Church of Christ of Washington D.C., private funders and NatiiArts, the school curriculum was developed, and tuition, meals and supplies were provided.
