The education of a single person can have a positive effect
on the lives of thousands of people. This principle is the foundation of the
Macchi School. Located in a part of the world plagued by poverty and short
horizons, the Macchi School is a tool that is being used to transform the South
American district of Tobati into a better place for future generations to live.
The school provides a means for the community's brightest minds from the
poorest neighborhoods and villages to be nurtured with the hope that they will not only
complete a university program, but will return to to Tobati afterward to take
up the difficult task of solving some of the town's most serious problems. To
reach this goal the Macchi School offers a rigurous academic curriculum while
at the same time, imparts a strong sense of public service on all of its
students.
