Operation Classroom helps to construct schools and provide teachers, equipment, books and supplies for vocational education in two locations in Liberia and Sierra Leone. Opportunities for vocational training helps these West African youth put their lives and their communities back together after being devastated by armed conflict. At least one, sometimes more, opportunities are available each year for volunteers in mission to travel to the African sites to perform much needed services. Rev Joe Wagner and his wife Carolyn, of the Lafayette District are the leaders of this mission effort.
