Margaret Leighton ('07) not only likes lizards and plays the accordion, she is also the director of Leap Sri Lanka.
Leap Sri Lanka strives to reduce the impact of the civil war through unconventional means: by inspiring children in affected areas to be passionate students and think independently.
Designed as a week-long curricular and co-curricular activities camp, Leap works with classroom teachers in addition to delivering after-school programs.
By encouraging local youth to engage and learn with foreign facilitators, and providing access to resources including digital cameras, science equipment and musical instruments, Leap gives destitute rural school children access to resources normally available only to very wealthy families.
