Ernest Ehabe, our president painted a room in the spring of 2016 in his house in Douala to providing specialized tutoring for his special needs child. Little did he and his wife know this would evolve so rapidly to include several special needs children. Soon their home turned into a school (without any kind of advertising). By September 2016 the school moved to a semi-permanent structure and fully begin operating a school with an emphasis on special needs education. We have named the school RAY OF HOPE ACADEMY.In Africa – where most people are still very superstitious, autism and other educational special needs are generally attributed to witchcraft and the child being a bad omen. Sadly, this is a belief held even by Christians. Consequently, special needs children are seen as a nuisance and a drain on a family’s limited finances.
