Schools in Liberia have just opened and so far we have registered 141 children and youth to school! This year we have 129 students in K-12 with 12 in university and college.
Each student K-12 needs a uniform $ 15, shoes $ 15, book bag $ 15 and copy books $ 5. Text books are a great benefit too. We are still trying to buy all the necessary school supplies. Our education costs in 2015 to date are over $ 56,000. We believe education is essential if we are going to end poverty and change the future of the Liberian children. We can see that education is making a difference for our children and that is why we are so passionate to see them continue in school. It’s great to see them read and write. We hope to hire tutors for all our Hope Homes again this year. The cost of a tutor is $ 50 per month. Study classes after school is a huge help. The children we fund to school have all come from extreme conditions. What a joy to see them excel. Here are just a few photos of the many we are helping to school. Every child has a story! Every child is “so” precious!
Thank you to all those who donated at our 9th “Walk a Mile in My Shoes” event in Steinbach, Manitoba. We will have a second “Walk a Mile in My Shoes” in Kelowna on Sunday September 27th. This is our 5th one in Kelowna.
We have so many success stories! Click here to read about Jallah Tutu who just graduated becoming a registered nurse! What a blessing to see what God is doing in the lives of so many who were once so hopeless!
