Our branch church has the great joy of supporting the education of Sunday School students attending Fifth Church of Christ, Scientist, Kinshasa, in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Public schools are not free in the DRC, and with an average of 6 children per household, many parents find it difficult to send all their children to school. We are pleased to have been able to help more than one hundred children with schooling to date.
Our church also supports a free literacy school offering remedial help to those children who cannot afford any education. The school, Les Ecoles Du Coeur, also has a special class for street children who began to attend Christian Science Sunday school because the superintendent took a Reading Room cart out onto the streets of Kinshasa and befriended the boys. Along with classes for children, the school offers a sewing class for single mothers and a literacy classes for adult women who never had the benefit of learning to read.
We invite you to join us in supporting this worthwhile, ongoing project. Please make your check payable to First Church of Christ Scientist, Eugene and mark it 'Africa'. |
