It all started in 1993 in Sinoe County. During the civil crisis in Liberia, the rebel soldiers attacked the village where the Sayklon family lived at the time.

As a result of the attack, children from the villages around there, including theirs, got missing while others were internally displaced. To give hope to three of the children who got missing from their parents and came to their internally displaced village, the Sayklons decided to shelter them. As security in and around their village became uncertain, they moved with the three missing children to Ivory Coast, a French-speaking neighboring country to Liberia. While seeking Refuge in Ivory Coast, there arrived few other children who couldn’t locate their parents. The Sayklon again took them to their refuge home. When the cease-fire seemed to hold back in Liberia, the Sayklons decided to return.

Upon their return to Liberia, they already had 14 missing children for whom they were caring for. They landed in Todee, Margibi County, one of the 15 political subdivisions of Liberia. While in Todee, they met one Mr. Massaquoi Joseph, a handicapped man who established a school there, along with Pastor Wilfred Matadi of the Church of God. Mrs. Sayklon, the wife of Peter, applied to teach at the school and was accepted. As a result of her attachment to the school, the 14 children were subsequently enrolled.
