Can You Help Sponsor Classroom Materials?
DONATE TODAY TO FINISH THE NEW CLASSROOMS š
Hello Friend,
We are truly grateful for each and every one of you who have stood beside ARM! Our new school is still in dire need of basic essentials for the new classrooms in our newly constructed ARM School Building. We are pleased to announce the intro of the Smart Box operation for our students, that's set up and ready for use. Our teachers believe these will significantly enhance the educational experience for many students! Heartfelt gratitude goes out to Heart of Africa for their generous donation of this essential resource!
For the children to be comfortable we desperately need to purchase 300 chairs; each chair cost is about $50. The total cost for all chairs is approximately $15,000. Would you consider sponsoring today to purchase one chair for every three students?
Additionally, a donation of $1,300 for each Classroom will finish 1 of the 20 classroom spaces needed (sized: 25 x 25 sq ft.) we have yet to complete in our Christian school. Right now as most of you know our nearly 1500 refugee children are studying in a make-shift tent with minimal school supplies. Our new building plans to equip them with tablets (smart boxes with curriculum), desks, printers, paper materials, chalkboards and visuals. Construction materials' costs to carry out our building equals $27,000 for overall school completion.
Our goal is have these classrooms sponsored by YOU, our partners at $1,300/Classroom where your church Ministry or Sunday School could sponsor a classroom, approximately $1 per child. CLICK HERE to Sponsor
"My trip to Gambella was amazing. I was blessed to speak at the pastors conference to 300 pastors this summer. The work with pastors and children is TRULY LIFE CHANGING! They join together different denominations to really impact these broken people with Faith and Hope. I can hardly wait to return! All I want for Christmas is to help build one classroom for those kids in Ethiopia!" says, Pastor Ted Taylor, Hereford, TX Nazarene Church
We are not placed on this earth to walk alone! These orphans cannot move forward without support and we believe you will play a crucial role in shaping our students' futures. May God truly bless you for being the Hands and Feet of Jesus and supporting our ministry to equip these orphaned children and make their future a success!
Sincerely, Rev. Michael Gatkek
