We Jesuits work in one of the poorestcountries in the world so we decided to make a real “optionfor the poor.” We do this by locating our school in a poorrural area that lacks good schools, making the school coeducationaland boarding for 500, and cooperating withthe Government of Malawi for “grant-aided” status –Government pays teachers and staff, meaning that fees arelower and more accessible to families of lesser means. Butwe face a challenge of how to assure the Jesuit ethos governsthe school right from start. Our Vision uses all the rightwords: “followers of Jesus, model of humanity,” “graduatesof conscience, competence, compassion and commitment,”“guided by the Christian values of a faith that promotesjustice,” “people for others,” “women and men trained notjust to make a living but to make a difference.” As a newJesuit school in Africa, we need help with models of whatis done elsewhere, materials we can share with teachers andstudents, persons who might spend some time with us toshare experiences.Can We Teach Social Justice?
