The Greatest Need

A few weeks ago, I did a post saying that the school has several renovations to be done. Since then, many people have asked both Kelsey and myself, how help can be given. So today, I want to tell you about what some of the needs are, and I hope you will be in prayer for them.

1. Flooding/Roofing: Because of the lack of roofs on 2 of the 5 classrooms, they flood every single time it rains. So almost every morning, the students have to de-flood their classrooms. Kelsey and I spent probably an hour on Wednesday helping them get rid of all the water in their rooms, while it was still raining. I would definitely call this the greatest need.

2. School Fees: Every once in a while, we continue to see children being sent home because of school fees. Most of the students need sponsors. This is a great need also. To send just 1 child to this school for an entire year, costs as little as $30. That's a few trips to Starbucks, or a dinner out.


3. Steps: Some of the classrooms are somewhat elevated, so although it's not top priority, steps are needed.

4. Grass: I wouldn't call this a need, but it is something they are wanting to add to the school. It would somewhat help the mud situation, but the mud doesn't stop classes or really cause much damage, so I would probably consider grass to be the least priority at this point.

So roofing, flood control around the school grounds, and the school fees are the greatest needs at the time. The other roofs are supposed to be going up next week (hopefully), but the flooding and school fees are still a problem.

Kelsey and I have decided that we want to start raising donations and finding sponsors as soon as we get home, so please be in prayer for that as well. I greatly appreciate how much you have all wanted to help! We will have more details and information when we get home, but if you have any questions about the flooding, the roofs, or the students, you are welcome to message me on Facebook, and I will try to answer some of your questions.
