  • NCCL has recently been recognized by the National Wildlife Federation as a Certified Wildlife Habitat. This means that the property attracts a variety of birds, butterflies and other wildlife, while helping to protect the local environment. Read more...
  • NCCL received a grant this year to install solar panels which will provide most of the school's electricity. Installation will take place this summer.

107,000 Pennies for Peace

Pennies for Peace The students at NCCL School have completed their school-wide Pennies for Peace campaign. On March 9th the children gathered their penny jars from NCCL classrooms and area businesses and the counting began! All told they raised an impressive $1,070, enough for a year's supply of pencils and notebooks for 50 children, as well as some funds for teachers' salaries.

NCCL's Pennies for Peace effort received media coverage from The Newark Post, WDEL 1150 AM, and 6ABC Action News.

Pennies for Peace school The project, a cultural education program tied to the New York Times best seller, Three Cups of Tea, is designed to empower communities in remote areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan. The educational program raises awareness and funds to assist in building much needed schools in these areas.

Pennies for Peace teaches children the rewards of sharing and working together to bring hope and educational opportunities to children in Pakistan and Afghanistan. A penny in the United States has little worth, but in Pakistan and Afghanistan a penny buys a pencil and opens the door to literacy.
