The team (Marsha, Jackie, and Skye) will be travelling to Ghana and Liberia next month. They are hoping to leave on February 16, 2011 and return in two weeks.
While they are there, they plan to visit our workers there. Jassie is in Ghana overseeing the sponsorship program there and Chris is in Liberia, overseeing the sponsorship program as well as other various projects.
Please pray for this team as this will be there final trip to Africa and there will be many mixed emotions during this time!
Stay tuned for details ... We will post updates of their experiences on a daily basis once they arrive in Africa!

These Liberian children desperately need your help!!!
These 6 kids in Liberia are desperately needing to go to school but cannot afford to do so. Please consider helping out one of these precious children for just $30/month. This will give them a Christian education, a uniform and school supplies. You will be kept updated on their progress as Chris will monitor them on a regular basis.
This is Ruth Flomo. She will be 14 in February and would be going to Grade 3.
This is Abrahim Flomo. He is 23, but sadly has not yet completed his Grade 8 of schooling. He had to quit school to support himself by selling charcoal just to get enough food to live. His mother died in the war and he just found out that his father is alive but living in a refugee camp in another country.
This is Louise Flomo. She just turned 15 this past December and would be going to Grade 3. Her father left her mother with 7 children to raise on her own in 2003 at which time Louise was sent to the city area to go to school but sadly this did not happen as the family she lives with cannot afford to send her. Her mother and siblings still live up interior. Louise works all day, every day selling things just to earn enough money for the family she lives with to buy food.
This is Korpu Flomo. She is 14 and would go to Grade 3. She is a sister to Abrahim, but they have different mothers. Her father was killled in the war and Korpu was taken in by another family as her mother could not care for her.
This is Francis Nimely. She will be 14 this year and would go to Grade 3.
This is Hannah Kolubah. Sadly, she has never been to grade school in her life. She will be 12 this year but even at this age she will have to start at Grade 1. Her father left the family in 2004 and she lives with her mother and two siblings. Her mother grows and sells potatoes to earn money for food. At the time this blog is being posted, Hannah has now been sponsored and will hopefully attend the new term in Liberia this January.
