WILLIE RENE BROXTON: I THINK JOSEPH LITTLES-nguzoSABA IS A GREAT SCHOOL FOR STUDENTS THAT HAVE FALLEN BEHIND IN THE REGULAR SCHOOLS ACADEMICALLY AND THOSE THAT ARE HAVING DIFFICULTY WITH LOW SELF ESTEEM AND SOCIAL SKILLS.I WORKED THERE AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN THE HEAD OF A SCHOOL WITH MORE LOVE AND DEDICATION IN PROVIDING DEDICATED TEACHERS THAT ARE QUALIFIED AND WILLING TO HELP THESE STUDENTS ADVANCE ACCADEMICALLY AND SOCIALLY. I WOULD HOPE THAT THE SCHOOL GETS THE HELP THAT IT NEEDS FINANCIALLY AND SUPPORTLY FROM THE SCHOOL SYSTEM.
