Building Tomorrow (BT) is an international social-profit organization with school-building operations in Sub-Saharan Africa.〔http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/02/24/building-tomorrow-george-srour_n_827809.html〕 ==History==
When George Srour, the founder and executive director of Building Tomorrow, first visited Uganda as a United Nations intern, he was struck by the lack of education infrastructure and how over-crowded and inefficient the existing schools were. Upon returning to the College of William & Mary, he decided to do all that he could to help the children he met overseas.〔http://www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2011105270350〕 In December 2004, George started those efforts at College of William & Mary. Through a campaign which he initiated, called Christmas in Kampala, students at the school raised almost $45,000 to fund the construction of a primary academy in Kampala, Uganda. In May 2006, the school, now known as Meeting Point Kampala, was completed and opened to students. After this campaign, Srour was awarded the inaugural Simon Fellowship for Noble Purpose. He has said that this is what allowed him to make building schools for children in sub-Saharan Africa a full-time job. Srour created the non-profit organization Building Tomorrow as a continuation of Christmas in Kampala.
