Afghan School

Mountain2Mountain is building a school for deaf children in Afghanistan. The Afghan government is donating 5 acres for the project that could be completed this summer. The school will teach as many as 1000 students - although the country has no formal sign language. The Denver-based group is working on a version of sign language based on spoken Afghan languages and international sign language. Some $300,000 of materials are being donated by Miami's InnoVida Holdings and Denver's International Home Finance and Development are donating. Quality Management Construction of Afghanistan, is providing construction management services at a discounted rate. Mountain2Mountain still needs to raise another $400,000 for construction.
