.... Is a school in Bukavu that has accepted children who have been refused by other institutions in the past due to extreme poverty.
It is a parent-run school in a poverty-stricken community. For some of these children, one meal a day is a dream. The keyword in their community is "lack".
There is no electricity and no health care within walking distance.
Ron & Elaine, two of our missionaries have spent time there teaching English, getting to know some of the students, and encouraging the teachers.
TBA has also sent school supplies when we are able. We believe that a meaningful education can help these children break the cycle of poverty and have a hope-filled future.
This has a long-term impact on the lives of children, many of whom are living in situations most of us can not even imagine.
Another of the issues facing this school and community is no access to potable water. In September, TBA was able to supply 2 water tanks on the school grounds. They are filled with run-off rainwater. One tank is treated for drinking, and the other for all other needs.
We are so thankful to God for His provision to accomplish this miracle!
This is one of our Thanksgiving reports!
