Max Sengui Special Education School

MMO's specific interest in children with hearing loss has prompted donations to the Max Sengui school in Jinotega. This school provides education to children with disabilities including a class of 19 deaf children and teenagers.

MMO supplies the school with educational materials and during MMO's August 2004 trip, Mayflower youth reconstructed playground equipment for the children.
