Help Dorothy & Make a Difference in Nkhoma

Mom sent me an email to forward on to see if she can get help raising funds to make a lasting difference in Nkhoma. As I pondered her request, I decided to post part of it for you to ponder as well. I would love to help her make this desire a reality before she returns home. Please read:

I am asking for assistance in making a 5 year commitment of $6,000.00 annually for scholarships. Ellen is the only one I have signed up to support at this point. The $6,000.00 would provide scholarships for 20 children, one whole class. Except for the doctors’ and nurses’ there is no one in Malawi that makes enough salary to send a child to school. They are all poor farmers. About 1/5 of our students are on 100% scholarship, and I would like to see us get even more village children. I think it would be fabulous for our money to be for village children at the 3 year old level, so they could start with English at that age and be able to keep up with the more educated and English speaking Malawians. Barbara Nagi has said that she thinks our school will have an impact on Nkhoma in the way they think. We are introducing a whole new way of thinking and solving problems for our Malawian children in our educational process.

Mom has made incredible strides in the education process in Nkhoma, not on her own, but, with the help of lots of you. All kinds of supplies have been sent to Ebenezer Institute of Learning because of her decision to make a difference. I have witnessed miracles occuring because of the bonds of those relationships. Which has lead me to post this post. If you feel lead to help mom make this a reality--any amount will help-- please make your tax deductable contribution to:

Presbytery of Western North Carolina
for: Ebenezer Scholarships

and mail to:

Presbytery of Western North Carolina
114 Silver Creek Road
Morganton, NC 28655

Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers sent on behalf of my mother. Lynne
