A Different Type of Gift... The Gift of Education

Give the gift of education:  Periodically, Develop Africa receive emails from people who are doing exemplary deeds.  Here is one inspiring letter that provides a heart-warming example.  What a memorable example to her children, grand-children and us all.  

... I am sending a box of pictures and 2 sharpeners for the UMC Georgebrook School in Freetown, Sierra Leone, unless you find a school that is in more need, please feel free to forward them there.  

We are sending these pencils in the name of our two grandsons, Tyler and Matthew of town name, Nebraska.  Each year we take some of their gift money, as per the requests of their parents, and spend it on a child that is in need of something.  

Have a very blessed Christmas everyone.  The work you are doing is so wonderful.

God bless you,
