FUNDRAISING FOR SIERRA LEONE SCHOOL PROJECT: Only about half of the population of Sierra Leone (in Africa) can read and write. This means that about half of the population is illiterate. The vision of the Sierra Leone School Project is to start a primary school in the town of Lungi in Northwest Sierra Leone. Funds raised will go towards building classrooms, buying furniture and school materials, paying teachers, and providing other necessary support to bring the Sierra Leone School Project to fruition.
DONATION: Please make donations to Lake Merritt UMC Church for the Sierra Leone School Project. May God richly bless your donation.
