The Congo Education Excellence Project is Appealing for Your Help:
 Due to the war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and its government's lack of support for education, its 684 Presbyterian Schools are in critical need of durable buildings; books; teacher training programs; scholarships; and vehicles.
A group of U.S and Congolese Presbyterians have joined forces to raise funds for these schools by forming the Congo Education Excellence Project (CEEP).
Please ask your church and civic organization to join this 'war for
quality education':
- invite a speaker and video presentation on the children and schools of the Congo;
- crochet and sell beautiful necklaces to raise funds; and
- donate to the Congo Education Excellence Project.
(Contact Tom or Jan Sullivan, First Presbyterian Church of Evanston -- 847-475-4052 or sull1300@comcast.net). |
