OBAT hopes to achieve the following for all of its schools:

• Continue the Meals Program. Children were provided with free meals at certain schools but due to the high cost, the program had to come to a halt. OBAT feels that a child should not have to study on an empty stomach and has been trying to continue this program.
• Provide scholarships to older students who are ready to move to the next stage of their education.
• Improve and extend the health and wellness programs and checkups to the schools and turn the schools into a literacy center for other camp residents as well.
• Provide at least 2-3 computers to students and teachers within each school.
