At many American Indian schools, the academic year concludes in mid-May. Our project volunteers are working diligently to ensure that our students have all that they need for the summer months. Meanwhile, several of our students in this division will be graduating from high school. We wish them luck!
As we conclude another wonderful year, we are encouraged by messages like this one, which a project volunteer included with her annual report: "I am grateful to all the sponsors who do so much for our students. This has been a wonderful school year. One of my students particularly benefited from the Children, Incorporated program. He arrived at my school with only one set of clothes. Thanks to his sponsor, he was able to purchase new clothes, and he really loves them. In May 2008, he got to travel to Phoenix for the Special Olympics. He returned with lots of medals and ribbons for a job well done. None of this could have happened without his sponsor."

The Appalachian Division schools are preparing for annual state testing. We wish our students much luck and success!
If you currently sponsor an Appalachian child and are looking for a way to provide extra support during this critical time, you may want to send your child an encouraging letter. You could also send resources for school supplies, healthy snacks, and other resources that promote good study habits and active learning.
Thank you so much for your part in supporting your child’s education.

The expansion of the St. John Community Center in Kenya is almost complete. The new building is only in need of final touches and paint, and it is due to be finished on March 28th of 2008. This addition will open up terrific new possibilities for the center. It includes 12 new classrooms as well as space for a library, offices, and workshops in such trades as carpentry, metals, hair dressing, and home economics.

39% of Detroit's children live below the federal poverty line. The staff at schools like Sampson Webber Academy, a public middle school in west Detroit, work diligently to help their students escape poverty--but they fight an uphill battle.
Sampson Webber is in an area where community involvement, housing conditions, and neighborhood safety have all declined sharply during the past few decades. As Detroit's economy has failed, the city contains fewer home owners and more transient renters. Children often deal with extreme turbulence within their families and communities.
Sampson Webber provides its students with special tutoring and offers workshops for both students and parents. It also distributes food baskets to members of the local community. These programs are beneficial, but the needs of Detroit's children remain very great.

The winter season is about to begin in the southern hemisphere, and many of our Latin American children need warm clothing, blankets, and other cold-weather items. None of the Latin American schools or homes that we support are equipped with heating systems. As a result, the children suffer from frequent colds and bronchial problems. Families cannot afford to take their children to get medical attention and rely on the limited supply of medications that we are able to provide. In July, most of our Latin American schools and community centers close for 3 to 4 weeks so that the children do not have to go outside early in the morning when it is dark and extremely cold. Comprehensive support is critical during this season, and you can help by sponsoring a Latin American child or making a donation.
