The Value of an Education

As you may or may not know, there is another precious girl in Ghana that stole my heart. Her name is Rebecca and she would like very much to go to school.

We have so many options for school here in America - public, private, Christian, home school, alternative schools, etc. We are blessed that if we cannot afford private school that a public education is FREE for everyone. The only way for Rebecca to go to school is to pay for it and I'm hoping you'll join me in making this happen. Her tuition for the year is around $400.

She lives in a wonderful foster home that wants to send her to school. Can you imagine having to decide between sending your child to school or eating?

I am committed to contributing and raising the remaining funds needed for Rebecca to go to school. You could give up just one latte - $5 would make a difference! I hope you will join me and make the dream of an education happen for this precious girl.

I love Rebecca and I hope to God you adopt her but in the mean time I will give $25 for now towards her school. I know her well and she loves school and loves to learn. Lets all chip in for this wonderful little girl.

What a great way for you to support her....

I've been off the reading circuit here in the blogosphere, so I'm really behind.... But I'm still here, still reading :)
