I got a teacher's house for Christmas

This is similar to what the house will look like.

My Christmas wish this year was a house for the teacher for the future school in Kpeletayama, Liberia. The best time to build is during the dry season, which started in October and goes until April. We were able to raise $4,600. This is enough for the house, school supplies and most of the administrative costs. Now, we just have the teacher salary for a year.

Hopefully, the house will be completed by the end of February. Meanwhile, a open hut will be constructed and an interim session of school will be held from March until June. None of the children in the area have been to school, so this will be a great introduction for them. And, we will be fully prepared for a regular school year to begin in Sept.

Donated school supplies like backpacks, pencils, notebooks, etc. were donated from Roosevelt Elementary in Eau Clarie, as part of their Christmas celebration. These items will be taken to Liberia in March.

I am so overwhelmed with gratitude for all the friends that have helped and donated. This is the best thing I've ever got for Christmas.Peggy and Pastor George, future teacher for Kpeletayama school
