School Outreach

School Supply Outreach

At the end of July, Rescue the Hopeless Mission did a school supply outreach, helping needy students be prepared for school when it resumes in September. 30 students were invited and 24 were able to make it. Every student received:

• a customized backpack
• 10 customized notebooks
• 1000 Naira, which helped with their transportation and will allow them to purchase some other small things
• a prepared meal of rice, fish, and a drink

Students were very grateful. Several commented that they have never had a stack of notebooks to start the year, because their parents buy one at a time as they are able throughout the school year. This means they are not actually prepared for school and their learning is hindered.  Praise the Lord for the opportunity to bless these few students.

Our next outreach is planned for November, before all the Christmas festivities begin.
