We invite you to join with us in walking for the kids of Liberia. Your personal involvement in our walk allows our kids to have an education that they would not otherwise ever be able to afford. We believe that education will change the future of Liberia. With a few small steps at a time we can make a difference!

Lightstream Academy

This post is to introduce you to one of the schools that we are able to send some of our sponsored students to.  This school is accredited by the Ministry of Education (which is important in Liberia) and has also had a church in Wisconsin help with funding of their school building project.  Currently, they are educating around 400 students.  There are many needs here but the school is  under great leadership.  I am hoping to see this school grow even more.
These are children that are gathered for morning prayers.





    This is another picture of the students doing morning
    devotions.  In Liberia, praying and worshipping are still a part of daily school activity.


    This is the first grade class.

    This is the principal of Lightstream Academy, David Fatorma and his family.  David has visited the U.S. on a few occasions and I think he brings a well rounded perspective on education.  Global Orphan Outreach is proud to be working with them.




    In the next few postings I will post some pics of the last trip to Liberia where we handed out backpacks and school supplies to our sponsored kids.  A great big thank you goes out to the Stratford Girl Scout troops for donating the school supplies and also to some individual donors who sent us the backpacks.  We appreciate your generosity!
