The Next Chapter: Kpeletayama School

Bringing life and hope to a “village with nothing

Mark and Peggy Halvorsen hoped to adopt two brothers from Liberia, West Africa when their hearts were broken. In June 2009, Habakkuk, then 2 ½, died of cholera, a disease acquired from drinking contaminated water.

A clean water well was installed at Kpeletayama Village in April, 2010. Members of Global Orphan Outreach traveled to Liberia to celebrate with the village and dedicate the well to Habakkuk's memory.

Today we can rejoice that Kpeletayama village has clean safe drinking water. The impact was immediate: the high rate of typhoid, cholera, and diarrhea dropped quickly.

The Next Chapter: Kpeletayama School

During the visit to dedicate the well, we discovered that there is no education in Kpeletayama village because there is no suitable housing to offer a teacher.

Plans are being finalized to build a small home similar to the picture below to accommodate a school teacher. Books and school supplies will also be needed for the children.

The students will be taught the "old fashioned African way" – meeting under a large open hut. Education cannot wait for a school building. Please join us as we bring education to Kpeletayama village.

Costs for Kpeletayama village school:

Teacher Housing: $3,580
Accredited school teacher plus an assistant ($200 a month for 10 months): $2,000
Books, chalk, chalkboard, stationery, first aid kits: $570
Administrative costs: $600

Total cost of project: $6,750

Pastor George Sackie is a pastor and teacher, and will be the teacher at this new school. He and his wife, a nurse, are committed to serving Kpeletayama and surrounding community

A Message from Pastor Peter Flomo
Establishing the Kpeletayama Village School is a project we call "Light in Darkness." It is a drive to change the future of children born and unborn. It will tap the potential of a people who have been forgotten for generations.

Kpeletayama is a village in Liberia. It contains about eighteen huts, and is surrounded by over ten villages with similar conditions. It is a ‘village with nothing’ where the people are without basic life necessities.

Education will make our young people less vulnerable to the generational cycle of rebellion and violence in our nation. It will create hope of self- sustainability and independence in our kids and families, and our nation will be touched when girls of this village are educated.

For those with hearts for humanity, I invite your investment in this village. It is a project worth the investment and will have an eternal dividend.

- By Pastor Peter Flomo, son of the village
