What’s Mustard Seed doing over there in Southeast Asia?

Mustard Seed Canada - Wednesday, June 16, 2010

We often receive letters and bits of news from Mustard Seed's schools in East Asia but it takes time for us to to through everything and translate before we can share them with you. This is what we are accomplishing overseas with your generous support. Here is an encouraging update sent to us from a 14 year old Mustard Seed student named Iruni.



Hi, my name is Iruni. I’m fourteen and I’m in the eighth class.

I give thanks to God because I can study and live here in this Children’s Home.  I am an only child.  I don’t have a mommy because she passed away when I was born so I never saw her.  I need to study and be a success in my life.  Ideally, I’d like to become a nurse.

My day is spent studying at school from 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. everyday, Monday to Saturday.  We have community prayer here every morning and evening.  We study English with Uncle Bema three hours a week. 

I just want to say thank you for all of this.

May God bless you all.

Iruni

Urgent Request: Help Send a Student to College

Mustard Seed Canada - Tuesday, June 15, 2010
Mustard Seed Canada's  After High School fund sends kids to collegeWe have just received news and an urgent request from a student attending a Mustard Seed sponsored school in an Indonesian village.  This village is located in the jungle and she has been working hard to save enough money to go to college.  This particular student is fiercely determined to graduate from high school, attend college and return to  her village in the jungle to become a teacher.  Living in a jungle village makes it very difficult for her to earn or raise funds without our help.

The amount she needs to raise is $250 for each college semester. She does not have resources such as government student funding like we have in Canada  so organizations like Mustard Seed are her only chance to break the cycle of poverty, continue her education and give back to her village.  As you can see, our dollars stretch very far in Indonesia.  If you would like to help send her to college, please donate to our "After High School fund".
