It won't be long before Timothy and I will be returning to Liberia for a visit. During the time we have been in Indiana, we have received funds from Benson Chapel UMC for 3 bicycles plus raingear and vests for our ag workers, Ridge UMC has given funds for 2 more ag workers plus bicycles and raingear for them. This will increase our staff to 5 ag workers which will enable us to do much more at the Ag. Center spot. By doing so we will be able to increase the number of workshops that are given and the number of people coming to the ag center to observe our work. Kokomo Early Riser Rotary has arranged for a grant to dig a clean water well (sealed) and also for irrigation wells around the ag center. This will enable us to do a more efficient work with irrigation during the dry season.
Ruth at Shiloh UMC in Kokomo gave over 75 pairs of flip flops (slippers) that were given to the Deaf School where we are doing agriculture training. They were so appreciative to be able to have something to cover their feet. A Shiloh Sunday School class donated Bibles to the Dorcas Women - a girls youth program in our community to teach teenage girls to be women with Biblical principles.
Many other groups gave funds to support our home and workers with additional food during the Ebola Crisis when food was in short supply and high in cost. We are grateful that none of our family or workers were stricken with the virus. Many thanks to those of you who helped with this effort to keep them healthy.
We are now working to the future with efforts to increase the activity at the ag center and among the communities. We have several Liberia University agriculture students working on plots as a practical experience with their studies.
We have two more deaf communities we are helping to develop an agricultural program with fish ponds and fruitful planting.
We praise God in all our efforts as we strive to enable the Liberian people to become self sufficient to feed, clothe and educate their families. This is only possible through your efforts.
Peace and joy, Anne
