There’s an excited young priest in Mekele, Ethiopia, with a big job. He’s the chaplain to the Christian students at a huge public university and he runs a youth center and a library. Every day, he changes lives. But he wants to do more… He wants to start a youth athletic program to give the kids self-confidence, healthy bodies, strong friendships, and a safe and happy place to spend their time.
One problem: no sports equipment!
He sent us a plea for help. And we knew just the person to ask. One of our donors, Dennis, has a soft spot in his heart for athletic programs for needy kids. Last year, he gave four schools in Ethiopia the chance to set up athletic programs with a generous gift of soccer balls and volleyballs. So we asked, fingers crossed, and prayed he would help us.
And he did! He filled the entire request in one wonderful moment. Now, the kids in Mekele will have soccer balls, volleyballs, table tennis and nets—even uniforms. Thank you, Dennis!
Dennis is funding a program though CNEWA’s office in Northeast Africa. Let me know if you want to help too!
