Elim Private School

One of the core focuses of our church's post-Lenten campaign is support of Elim Private School. This is a video I put together to promote the project. Elim is in Jos, Nigeria and I was lucky enough to spend a couple of hours there while at Faith Alive. The school's headmistress (principal) is also a volunteer at Faith Alive, specifically with the Sunday afternoon support group. Like most schools in Jos, Elim charges their students a minimal fee to pay for teachers and other supplies. I think a student's fees for a whole year are less than $300. If you are interested in supporting a student financially or learning more about Elim and how you can help, send me an e-mail and I will put you in touch with the appropriate people. For any educators who might be reading, this may be a good opportunity for a pen pal relationship. Who knows, but let me know if you're interested. Enjoy!
