Currently a few NEEDS have come up. There are about seven boys here in Rwanda who cannot go to school. The school systems here in Rwanda require school fees, which are $100 USD per term. There are three terms. That is NOTHING compared to the education, especially college education, we pay for in America. Three of the boys names are Eric, Joseph, and Leonned. I work closely with these three boys each week. In the next couple of weeks, I plan on getting their pictures and a write up of their stories. If you are interested, you can support one of these seven boys and I will be able to send you their information and picture. The other four boys work directly with my friend George. He mentioned to me about a month ago that several of his boys cannot pay for school for various different reason. I asked him to consider and pray for four boys to support. There is no way to support all of them. Most of these boys cannot go to school because school fees are a little less then twice the amount of a monthly salary. On average, a decent job of cleaner, cook, guard, etc. pays about $60 a month. Again, that is a decent, good paying job.... It makes complete sense to me why their parents and families cannot pay for their schooling.... so... if you are interested in supporting one of these seven boys in the upcoming months, e-mail me and/or send a check and note, mentioning that you would like your donation to go to school fees, to:
Bridging the Gap
4719 Ridge Road
Mt. Airy, MD 21771
I will be posting on my blog the boys pics and stories in the next week or so.
