Hungarian Translation of Recovering the Lost Tools of Learning
Helen Vaughan, former head of school at Caldwell Academy in Greensboro, North Carolina, is now living with her husband in Budapest, Hungary, and working as the Educational Consultant/International Ministries for ACSI. She has asked if ACCS can help raise $6000 for the translation of Recovering the Lost Tools of Learning (by Douglas Wilson) into Hungarian, and for the production of 1000 copies of the book for distribution.
Having served as the Head of Caldwell Academy, a long-standing ACCS member school, for a number of years, Helen is strongly committed to classical Christian education, and is working to help establish such schools throughout Europe. Speaking specifically of Hungary, Helen says, “I sense there is a good match between Hungarian Christian educators and classical Christian education. I really get excited about the possibilities.” Hungary has lived for decades under the godless tyranny of Communism, but was released in the providence of God with the fall of the former Soviet Union. This is an opportunity to help a close friend of ACCS promote classical Christian education in this former Communist nation.

Rafiki Schools in Africa
History of Rafiki
The Rafiki Foundation, directed by Rosemary Jensen, began in 1985 when, with the help of several churches, two doctors and their wives were sent to Tanzania to work in the Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Center and to teach the Bible. Rafiki was registered in the U.S.A. as a nonprofit organization [501(c)(3)] in 1987 and its work is entirely funded by charitable donations.
Aim of Rafiki
Rafiki’s aim is to turn helpless children in Africa into godly contributors in their countries.
Rafiki’s Goal
Rafiki’s goal is to operate one Christian training Village in each of the following ten African countries: Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Liberia, Malawi, Nigeria, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia. These Villages are funded by donors outside Africa and are staffed by Rafiki missionaries and hired nationals. Each Rafiki Training Village consists of individual cottages for 10 orphans per cottage, residence halls for older children, well-equipped schools for resident orphans and day students, missionary housing, a dining hall, medical clinic, and playgrounds/athletic fields. The Villages also serve as training facilities to teach select African church denominations to replicate Rafiki’s orphan care and education programs.
Rafiki provides a unique opportunity for retired Christian teachers to help shape the future of Africa. The Foundation seeks teachers who will serve at a Rafiki school for a commitment of two years. Rafiki schools provide a quality classical education from a biblical worldview, thus giving a teacher the best of both worlds—reaching some of the neediest children in the world within a quality setting designed to develop godly leaders for Africa.
