Bob and Nancy
- Peace Corps (Ethiopia)

    - friends coming from the United States, supplies being sent for the school
    - dream: to have a school with classrooms, paid teachers, books, etc
    - put in for a grant to build a new building

How does this relate to APO?!
- money from APO helps to pay for and build the water system in the areas they have been working on

school, rather than miles away
