HOW IS TOUGHNESS DEVELOPED?

I hope all is well with you!
We thank God for using different people to support Living Hope Junior Academy including you. Thank you so much! However there are so many challenges the school is facing at the moment. A week ago we received officials from Mityana District council including District health Officer & District Engineers. They inspected the school, they appreciated our buildings being on standard but they commented on the classroom environment which wasn’t conducive to allow children continue attending classes not until the floor, enough food, First Aid box-medical and scholastic is worked upon. In a nutshell a notice clarifying the closure of the school was issued to us. We’re thinking about the 200 children where they are going to get education at the beginning of the next term!
We need a total of $14,300 at the school: 

• $9,500 to complete the floor for 7 classes, 
• $2,400 for food, 
• $1,750 for medical, 
• $650 for scholastic).

In respect of your dignity and recognition of your endless support, we once again come to you seeking for more support towards the Furnishing. Remember you have been our strong support in all the developments at this school, beginning from the land purchase until now. 

We really understand how you are committed to many projects around the world but your support is very paramount at the moment. However, we have also tried to contact other friends around about the same matter but no positive answer yet.

Pray & pray & pray for us!
