You may remember this young lady from an earlier blog, THIS IS ELLEN!!!! Ellen has been attending Ebenezer Institute of Learning on scholarship since June of this year. She had difficulty with English, at first, but has adapted quickly. She loves school. The smile on her face says it all. Thanks be to GOD!!!!
Mom is boarding a plane on Dec. 13th to return to the United States. Good news awaits her arrival. We have collected, $8,877 of the $30,000 she wants to collect in her desire to create scholarships for 20 Malawian children, like Ellen, to attend Ebenezer for the next 5 years. This represents schooling for 5.9 children for five years or schooling for all 20 of the children for 1.5 years!!!! Thank you for helping in the effort to reach this GOAL.
Gaston Area Presbyterian (GAP) Churches are planning an event to help in this persuit - Dinner with Dorothy - Jan 21, 2011. An event that will include a meal and raffle/silent auction items to raise funds for the scholarships. More soon....
Thanks to all of you who have gone with mom (via her blog) on her once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
