A child wants to help make a difference....

I spoke of Mariella Provost from Black Mountain before, the Korean missionary who along with her husband started a school similar to Ebenezer in Korea. Mr. Kim, a scholarship student to the Korean school, is the man who went to help with the dedication of Ebenezer this past June. Mariella's granddaughter, Grace, has taken on the task of helping the children of Nkhoma by starting a penny drive to help Memory, a child at Ebenezer. I wanted to share her plan to help Memory in hopes that it might provide the creative thinking for someone else to find a way to help. Thanks, I plan to provide updates on MOM's REQUEST for SCHOLARSHIPS. In his name, Lynne

Pennies for Memory


Memory is a little girl who is attending Ebenezer school in Nkhoma, Malawi. These pennies will help her go to school. She entered kindergarten in September.
Grace Drummond, age 13, from Newton, NC read “Three Cups of Tea” this summer with Grandma Mariella Provost in Black Mountain. After hearing of the need in Malawi where a school building has been built in memory of her grandfather, Raymond Provost, she decided to start collecting pennies for Memory. Memory was adopted from the Crisis Nursery in Lilongwe by one of the drivers at the Nkhoma Hospital.
Grace has also been adopted from an orphanage in Russia and is excited to see the pennies coming in to help Memory go to school. 12,000 pennies seems like a lot but it is surprising how a few pennies here and there start mounting up. Friends are helping!!!
Maybe some child, Sunday School Class or even adult can make a jar to collect change for a child at Ebenezer.
