Faith Mennonite Church hasn't added a story.
Hi everyone, in 2017 the Faith youth group went on a mission trip to the Dominican Republic to serve with an organization called Lighthouse Projects. Almost 30 years ago Lighthouse Projects began their work in a town called Los Alcarrizos by building a water purification plant. From this it evolved into helping to build homes and schools. Education has largely not been available due to limited infrastructure or not affordable because of the lack of financial means in these communities. Lighthouse Projects has made education available for anyone and has been a positive impact in the transformational change within this small community.
Through serving the community in this way, not only has Lighthouse made an impact by giving the community pure water, but they have also impacted the community by giving them Living water. (John 7:38) Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.
They have now started building a water purification plant in a neighboring community called Villa Altagracia and hope to have the same positive impact on this community as they did in Los Alcarrizos
This short mission trip has made a lifetime impression on all the Faith youth who served in 2017. We witnessed first hand the way Lighthouse teams served and reached many communities and individuals, often resulting in life altering changes, not only in supplying for their physical needs but also their spiritual needs.
Due to the worldwide pandemic they are now in need of your help. We hope you consider donating in some way to help children in the Domincan Republic recieve education through the use of these tablets. God bless you for your generosity and your kindness.
Like schools all around the world, Impact Dominican Republic's Lighthouse School is preparing for an unprecedented school year, requiring students to participate in virtual learning from home. In order for students to participate, each child needs access to a tablet, which many students and their families can't afford to buy.
The Lighthouse School has the overall goal of purchasing 150 tablets between supporters in Canada and the US. To help contribute to this initiative, Impact DR is aiming to raise enough money for 20 students to have tablets- $4,800.00
Your support isn't just about a piece of technology- it's about supporting a school that cares deeply about the education of the most vulnerable and seeing them succeed in these difficult and unprecedented times.
Would you consider sponsoring the full cost of a tablet, or contributing to the purchase of one? Your donation will qualify for a charitable receipt.
