Mitchell Elementary School Raises $4,700 for students in Africa!!

/ 2 Comments

Mitchell Elementary School in Southeast Manitoba surprised us all at their last TREATS + TREASURES Fundraiser on May 3rd!  This is a fundraiser put on by the WHOLE SCHOOL where the students donate their toys and parents bring in baked goods.   The community spirit is electric!!  All the students get to come shopping!  This is the 8th consecutive year that they have partnered with funding students to school in Liberia, West Africa, through the organization of Provision of Hope.  This year they will put 13 students to school.   In total they have raised a grand sum of $ 18,498!!!  This is most remarkable!!!

Treats and Treasures is a WHOLE School Effort.

This is the group of teachers that went to Liberia with Karen Barkman in 2012. Yvonne Schroeder Principal of Kleefeld School), Elaine Peters and Karen Swiderski ( Teachers at MES) Kristen Reimer Teacher at Woodlawn) and Lorie Friesen ( Resource Teacher at MES) They hosted 2 major conferences for 27 schools and 152 Teachers. This was so beneficial for the Liberian Teachers. The Minister of Education is asking them to come again!

Liberian children all need to pay for their school fees, which is the reason many cannot afford to go to school.  Registration and tuition is approximately $ 300 per student, plus their school supplies.  This is a country that is extremely poor with a very high unemployment rate.  We all believe that to end poverty, education is necessary.  This year Provision of Hope was able to fund 150 students to school and Mitchell Elementary’s partnership was a big help. 

This is a SUMMARY OF FUNDS raised over the past 8 yrs and where the funds were distributed.

2011 –  750 for bunk beds for Ma Esther’s Orphan Home

2012 –  1,100  Teaching Materials for 5 Teachers

2013  – 1,400 – 7 students to school

2014 –  1,600 – 8 students to school

2015 –  2,247 -9 students to school plus uniforms & shoes

2016 –  3,087 -9 students to school plus all school supplies and textbooks

2017 –  3,614- 10 students plus uniforms, shoes, PE suits,copy books & book bags

2018  – 4,700  13 students to school plus materials

Grand total to date 18,498.00

Karen Barkman, would like to thank the STUDENTS, TEACHERS AND PARENTS of the Mitchell Elementary School for YOUR KIND AND CARING HEARTS to help our children in Liberia!

Every dollar donated goes to this cause.  Nothing is taken off for admin fees.

Thank you for THE DIFFERENCE YOU MAKE!!!!

Desperate at Christmas

Christmas in the Buduburam Refugee Camp is very sad.  Many do not even have enough food to eat.

Rice keeps getting more expensive every day.  It is now at $ 65 a Bag.  Who can afford that in the camp, so they buy it by the cup.  Our leaders in the camp, brought a group of very poor widows to our attention, including a young handicapped boy. This is the group that goes around picking up plastic bags.  At the end of a hard day of work, they are hoping it is enough money to eat. We are trying to buy Bags of Rice for these widows in time for Christmas.  Can any one buy one bag of rice for $ 65?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rudolf Sumo, a young  man who we helped through high school, at the refugee camp would like to go back to Liberia to stay.  Life on the camp is too hopeless.  Rudolf lost his mother about 6 months ago.  It’s been extremely hard for him and his siblings.   We are hoping that Rudolf will be home for Christmas!  The bus fare to Liberia is $ 300 plus his documents and food for the trip.  If anyone would like to contribute to this cause, we would be most grateful.  We have watched Rudolf over the years.  He is a young man who is always kind and respectful to others.  He would love to study a trade. In time he will. Rudolf is ambitious.  He will make it.  He does have a friend to stay with once he gets home.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We’re still hoping Ma Annie will get her new bed and mattress.  We’re believing for that.  Perhaps someone would like to give a gift towards this.  A bed $ 85, Mattress $ 120, Bedding $ 25, Pillows $ 10

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our children are hoping that they can all get a present for Christmas.  They absolutely LOVE getting a wrapped gift.  It’s usually a brand new dress and some shoes!  They love these surprises!  $ 30 buys nice clothes for a child at Christmas.

Hi Friends and Partners,

Are you looking to give a gift that really counts?   Here are some great ideas!  Remember, it is not the size of the gift that matters, but the size of the heart that gives it….Eileen Elias Freeman

Buy a gift for one of our children $ 30. It’s great if we can buy them new clothes.
Second Semester starts in January. We registered 150 children to school. Second semester is $ 100 depending on the school.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Each Christmas we try to buy bundles of good used clothing for the children in our homes. Each bundle has ALOT of clothes. $ 250 per bundle
Grandma Annie is one of our widows. She does not have a bed or a mattress. Bed $ 85 Mattress $ 120 Bedding $ 25 Pillows $ 10

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Seeds for a Garden $ 50.  Garden Tools $ 100. This way people can grow nutritious food like cabbages, kale, okra, cassava, tomatoes, cucumbers etc
Micro Loans are a big help for our single mothers. A good start is $ 300 up to $ 500

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rent a room for a year. $ 35 per month.   $ 420 per year. This is what most in Liberia call home… one room. So many come to us for room rent. They simply do not have funds. We do cater to orphans and widows as well as single moms.
Treatment for a sick child. $ 50 for medication. Treats malaria or typhoid.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Other Ideas:

$ 350   Helps a refugee travel from Buduburam Camp back to Liberia

$ 125   Buys Chicken Dinner and Party Food for One of our Children’s Homes

$ 35     Buys a Bag of Rice for a Widow

$ 15     Buys a good pair of shoes for a child

$ 25     A comforter for one of our widows

$ 50     Supplement for malnourished children

Fundraiser Dinner Raises Over $ 25,000

/ 0 Comments

What an amazing night we had on May 10th in Mitchell, Manitoba!!  Thank you to everyone who participated in making this evening an outstanding success! What a generous community of people coming together to  help others in Liberia, West Africa!

Island Breeze put on a spectacular performance!
You are so inspirational! What vibrant colours!!
Beautiful! So talented!
Island Breeze captured the attention of everyone! The kids loved your dance! Guess what they will be playing tomorrow!!
Elaine Peters is the founder of “Raise the Roof” Fundraising Dinners. This is No. 5!  Elaine you and Reg are a remarkable team!! They both took the day off work to serve all day at this event! Stephen and Sheri Rooke you are faithful attendees too! It was Stephen who stepped forward at an Appreciation Night to say, he wanted to donate for Otis Dyega’s Home.  Thank you for your generous help!!
Abe and Karen Sawatzky we could not do this without you!! You are incredible! Every Fundraiser you are both so willing to serve. Karen organizes the menu and manages the kitchen with excellence! The food is always so delicious! Abe does a fast accurate count of the money so we can announce our final tally!! ( I snagged a photo off your facebook page! Glad you had a nice vacation and came home the day before this event!)
Sheryl Adrian you did a superb job of decorating! Wow!! Elaine Peters folded “all” the napkins!! Oh my!! The whole place looked perfect!! Oakridge Greenhouse Garden Center donated a truck load of plants!! Thanks Erna Wiebe! The room was alive with spring beauty!
Lovely center pieces!! We set 23 tables, seating for 184 people and had African Jungle animals on each table. Thank you to Sheryl Adrian and her boy’s for lending their collection! Thank you too for bringing your boys to help all day!
Arlen and Jessica Penner ( Gr. 2 Teacher at Mitchell school) came again with their boys. It’s always so good to see families at these events. Our children learn from us and it’s great to include them in reaching out to others in need. Way to go!
Provision of Hope’s display showing some of our Hope Home Children and photos of children still needing sponsorships.
Karen Barkman showed a power point of the on going work in Liberia. 4 Homes were built through Raise the Roof Dinners, and with this fundraiser we have raised 137,528 through these events! South East Manitoba your community is outstanding! You have generous  hearts with an incredible ability to work together for a cause!
Frank and Linda Dorion stepped forward to build our first Children’s Home for Dapae and Rita. This makes it 5 homes we built, including the rebuild of Ma Esther’s home destroyed by fire. Had you not chose to sponsor Dapae and Rita they would most likely still be poor refugees stuck in the Buduburam Refugee Camp. No wonder they named their baby girl after you Mother Linda!

We are so grateful to  Granny’s Poultry for donating the chicken again this year!  Pastor Rob Martens from the Mitchell Gospel church was our MC.  You did a great job!  Thank you and your church for partnering with us for the past 10 plus years!  You are a small church with a far reach!  Rachel Siemens came out and covered our event so well, on Steinbach on Line!   Elaine Peters had 40 volunteers who cheerfully came out to serve.  Does anyone ever say no to you Elaine?  Probably not.  I love how you live by example!  There are so many people we could thank individually and of course all who gave so generously!

Audrey Kampen and Elaine Peters co-ordinated a remarkable Treats and Treasures again at the Mitchell School. Wow!!! This year you topped them all with $ 3,614! Even the staff had a silent auction and raised  $ 1,200! The whole school was buzzing with excitement that day !!

Thank you to Principal Joe Thiessen and Vice Principal John Terrick for allowing your students to think outside the box and for introducing them to global development at such early ages.  You are raising up students who will be world changers at home in their local communities and world wide!  Your staff is remarkable! Six of your teachers sponsor children.  Other families and students in your school also sponsor our children. Treats and Treasures has raised many dollars over the years for Provision of Hope!  Thank you Elaine Peters for being our MB Rep and Advocate!

Treats and Treasures is a Giant Garage Sale put on by the  K-4 students.  They bring baked treats and all kinds of personal items to sell.  Everyone gets to shop!  Gr 4 students are the vendors and look after the money. What a great idea Mitchell Elementary!!

In 2011 Treats and Treasures raised $ 750 for Bunk Beds for Ma Esther’s children. Before that they slept on the floor.
In 2012 Treats and Treasures raised $ 1,100 for teaching materials for the team of teachers that went to Liberia to conduct 2 major conferences for 27 schools and 152 teachers and principals.
In 2013 Treats and Treasures raised $ 1,400 and funded 7 Liberian students to school. These are children who would not get to school because they don’t have the funding, in a country where everyone must pay for their school costs.
In 2014 Treats and Treasures raised $ 1,600 and funded 8 students to school. This is a photo drawn by Jestina saying thank you!
In 2015 Treats and Treasures raised  $ 2,247 and funded 8 students to school plus black leather shoes, which are mandatory to wear.  School fees went up substantially after the Ebola Crisis.
In 2016 Treats and Treasures raised $ 3,087 funding 9 students to school plus all their supplies for the year. So amazing!!!

Thank you South East Manitoba for being a BIG PART of this work!

God Bless you!!

Karen Barkman

PLEASE NOTE  we are not having our annual WALK A MILE IN MY SHOES in Steinbach this year.   We had our 10th walk last year and our fundraising committee decided we would rather have a dinner.  This is a better venue to show our updated projects and account to  donors the value of their giving.

Every year we fund close to 150 children to school in Liberia. These children would not have the means to pay for their schooling. They are poor or orphaned. There are no free schools in Liberia. Every child must pay, even for shoes and a uniform.  If we are going to shift from poverty to sustainability it will require education.  I agree with Nelson Mandela when he says ” Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”

Please invite others to this event!

New Home for Ma Esther’s Children

/ 4 Comments

Provision of Hope’s new home for Ma Esther and her children is progressing well.

wp_20160720_011img_4906

This is a 4 bedroom house with 2 full bathrooms, a large living room, a dining room and a shop attached to the house.  The shop is intended for Ma Esther’s future business.  The outside is primed, and all the windows and doors are in.

img_4898img_4886

Here are photos of the kitchen, the living room and the dining room.  We are happy with how well things are progressing.   We have an engineer/architect who comes in regularly to inspect the workmanship of this project.  He is giving us very good reports, and adds his recommendations as we go along. We are confident this house is well built.

img_4892img_4891

The ceramics in both bathrooms are well done.  The workmanship is very good.

img_4875img_4874

Below is a look at one of the bedrooms and the shop which is attached to the house.

img_4895img_4909

We are very grateful for all who donated towards this project.  Thank you to the Elm Creek and Pine Falls folks who came out to those fundraiser nights in Manitoba.    Thank you to everyone who came out to “Raise the Roof” in Mitchell. You are most amazing!  Barkman Concrete in Steinbach gave us a generous donation just before the fire in December 2014.  What a blessing this was!  Others of you donated for this emergency too. Your generosity made it possible to rent a home for Ma Esther and the children, buy bunk beds, blankets and clothing etc.  while we planned for the new building.

family-pic-2theresa-in-bedroom

Ma Esther and her children are so grateful for all you have shared with them.  “May God bless you for all you have done for us”  You should have heard the children scream with delight when I announced that we would start rebuilding!!!  They cannot wait to be back home!

To finish this project we still have:  a)  $ 5,000 to complete the house  b) the outdoor kitchen  c) furniture for the living room and dining room d) shelves and a counter for the shop  e) crushed rock to put around the front of the house to keep the mud out.

Ma Esther and the children will move into the completed house, after their first semester of school is completed.  This will be the best time for them to transition over to their former school. Their rent, in the house they are in,  expires January 31st, 2017.

Our Organic Garden Team will be moving into the house until Ma Esther and the children move in . They will work on the organic gardens and be security for this new home.  The older children will be helping with the business as well as the gardens once they move in.   Lucy Wolo graduated from a tailoring school and is hoping for a sewing machine, to start custom tailoring.

Thank you sponsors and donors for all you are doing for the children of Liberia!

Steinbach Walk raises over $ 15,500 for Education

/ 2 Comments

WALK A MILE IN MY SHOES MANITOBA raised over $ 15,500 at our 10th Annual Walk  last Sunday at AD Penner Park in Steinbach.  All proceeds are going towards education for orphan and needy children in Liberia, West Africa.   For many children in this country, going to school is only a dream.  They simply do not have the funds. Many families hardly have enough food to eat, not to mention school fees.
