Because of generous donations to EWL the school has received a coat of paint inside, added a new drop ceiling and new flooring. The new flooring helps to reduce the natural concrete dust and provide better air quality for the children while studying. 

Liberian government representatives have recently visited the school and said that it is one of the best structures they’ve seen. They agreed to include it officially as an accredited school and will provide some text books and partial pay for the teachers. This is a huge blessing!

 

However many children need sponsors. Each sponsorship not only protects a child's ability to get an education in this safe caring environment, but also allows the children to get medical and nutritional support through our sister organization, Global Fingerprints, which has enrolled children from this school into their sponsorship program. Please consider sponsoring one of these sweet kids for only $35 per month.  www.globalfingerprints.org      (Peace Island School)

 

 

Looking to the future... EWL has been asked by Liberian Pastor and Church Planter, Titus Davis to partner with him on a project. Titus travels throughout West Africa telling people about the beauty of the gospel of Jesus Christ and planting churches.

Approximately 500 new churches are now active in this movement and 60% of those who make up these gatherings are women. Titus has asked that I create a training curriculum which can be used to encourage the women in these newly planted churches. The training will be Biblical and practical. It will be organized in at least three separate training blocks. It is Titus's and my aim that the training given to the women leaders would be retaught by them, over and over for the blessing of their communities and the glory of God.
