What didn't get much attention in the article is how the staff is getting funding for what they're doing. I kept wondering how the teachers and staff can afford to live in that area. Teacher salaries are notoriously very low. Living in an area surrounded by either shelters or high-priced housing, my thought was that it must be tough to find housing on a limited salary there. All the other stuff, like extending hours and giving the children gifts, in light of the lack of resources is amazing.
