On September 15, 2015 Barka Canada representative Wally Placewicz had an exciting meeting with Beata DeSantis and Joanna Maruszewska, founders of the Polish School of the Desert, in Palm Desert, California. The School is for children with at least one Polish parent and the curriculum will include language instruction and cultural education.

Ms. DeSantis and Ms. Maruszewska both expressed interest in founding Barka USA organization based in Palm Springs. Further steps in this process will be announced shortly.
