2021Bird’s-Eye View of the New ADA Campus

 

We hired a Liberian filmmaker to make a 3-minute video, so that you can see up close how your gifts are changing the lives of our ADA children and their families. Please watch and enjoy this film, which, for the first time, provides a beautiful “bird’s-eye view” of ADA’s new school campus, and know that we are very, very grateful for your generous support.
