As you have now seen, the theme of this year’s fundraiser & celebration is Better Together.
During our recent visit to Liberia, we witnessed a beautiful example of how we are better together. Before we departed, you donated 700 pounds of art supplies, board members ensured their safe arrival at the school, others joined to sort the supplies, Facilities Manager Jerome Kollie came alongside to build shelves to store what you generously shared with the students. Then stateside board member Christy Nash and Dean of Instruction Adama Sherman became quite a team making art opportunities flourish at Hope International.
Christy’s partnership with Adama, who now continues to bring art into the classrooms, continues across the miles. They are talking regularly and co-planning art lessons for each of the grades.
Adama had a meeting last week to gauge interest in an art club and over 50 students showed up! He shared with us new photos showing the joy art has brought the students.
You and the supplies, Christy and Adama, everyone who helped sort, pack, unpack, organize…every single one of you continues to show what Better Together means in action.
We hope you can join us on Saturday, May 2nd at our annual fundraiser & celebration as we celebrate 18 years of being better together.
