During a recent visit, I was brought to tears and reminded of the faithfulness of God toward his promises. Upon hearing we were in town, a young man named Kabba Conteh who had graduated from the school after passing his National Primary School Certificate in Education (NPSCE) exams three years ago came to express his gratitude. He is now in Junior Secondary School (JSS) and is preparing to take his Basic Education Certificate Exam (BECE).

This means he has had at least 9 years of formal education which would not have been possible without God’s intervention and the generous gifts of many of you.

Part of our vision is to get this school to be financially self-sustaining and to establish a viable commercial farm whose profits would benefit the school.  I am happy to report that after my visit this April, we were able to plant 50 acres of rice and are looking for a bumper harvest this fall.

We also received, and planted 500 trees from the Ministry of Agriculture in Sierra Leone as part of their reforestation initiative. 300 of these trees were commercial grade cashew trees. The work is overwhelming, but not insurmountable. Your prayers and financial donations will go a long way to continue to help us fulfill the vision.

Blessings and peace,

Plummer
