New Education Program in Place at Home
We are excited to announce that the residents of the Nancy Cole Women's Home now have access to educational classes that will allow them to complete their secondary school grades. Three teachers come to home three days each week to teach Communication and Language, Math, and Civics. The teachers are provided free from an existing boarding school in Lima. The home has to provide school supplies, copying services and transportation. PTL!
We have just received a donation of funds to purchase a xerox machine and computers for the Library/Lab to enhance the schooling. What a difference this will make in the lives of the teen girls. At present, 29 girls are enrolled in the classes. Diagnostic testing has been completed to determine the reading and math levels of each student.
Funds have been pledged to hire a dewing instructor for the Sewing Lab. This will allow the new machines to be used in a systemic manner to give the residents life skills for the future. They can also make items to sell for the home. Also, funds have been provided to increase security at the home.
The greatest need at the present time is to provide more monthly support for regular operations. We need more sponsors for the "Adopt a Bed" Project ($50 per month) and more one-time donations for operations. As you plan your budget for 2009, consider a monthly contribution to assist the wonderful ministry at the Nancy Cole Women's Home. Encourage your church to place the home in the monthly mission's budget. We will be glad to provide promotional materials for you and your church.
God is still moving in Lima! Please contact us if you would like to assist with the "Adopt a Bed" Project or a special project. If you have questions or ideas, please contact us.
