Tenderfeet 10th Anniversery.


Tenderfeet family gathered yesterday to celebrate its 10th anniversary and 1st graduation of Tenderfeet Education center. When Margaret was giving her speech to the congregation, she thanked the almighty God for sustaining them that far from when the school was young until now, the joy for this achievement was to celebrate there 10th anniversary.
There was a lot of food and refreshments for all

18 children graduated from pre-unit to grade one. They were so proud of what they had achieved.


Both the teachers and the children are always working hard day by day and are anxious to excel in education. They also engage them in all activities areas for education. Discipline has generally been great over the past years. The guardians were encouraged to instill discipline to the children as it is one of the fundamentals towards excellence.
The school has qualified dedicated teaching staff. Tenderfeet children have been good role models wherever they go. Some are in primary and secondary school and they are performing very well. The school sources donor support from friends and well wishers to support children from vulnerable families and orphans. It also supports families in need with; food supplies, rent and pay medical attention to the children with special needs. It also provides breakfast and lunch that help the children grow healthy. Children are also provided with stationary (learning materials) to enhance smooth running.
The school has been facing many challenges like receiving threats from the City Council to close down since it is located in a residential area. Although with all challenges that they have been facing, they have been so strong in prayers and determination and God has spoken to friends who helped to purchase a plot for the school and the construction may start any time from now.
At the Climax of the event, a cake was shared to everyone.

Less than two weeks!

Greetings!

With eager anticipation, we’re excited to announce that the banquet is less than two weeks away! As November 14 has been quickly approaching, the banquet team’s been busy making final arrangements, preparing materials, and reflecting on the theme of the event, “your light will rise.” There have been a few changes in the banquet. Sadly, Susan Tabia will not be able to join us for the evening due to complications in both her visa and in her health. Please continue praying for Susan and for the incarnational ministry she continues to participate in on a daily basis. Through the media that Dan and Casey were able to collect on their recent trip, we look forward to still being able to hear from her briefly during the evening.

There have also been a few changes in the direction of the fundraising effort. Everything raised through the banquet will now be going toward renovations at Amazing Grace in Adjumani, Uganda. Many of the buildings are in a state of disrepair, including leaking roofs, cracking cement, and overflowing latrines. We look forward to helping to transform many of the structures at Amazing Grace in order to provide a healthier and more stable living situation for the children Lahash sponsors.

Thank you so much for supporting the vulnerable and broken of this world. For those of you who have faithfully been praying for both the evening and the process, thank you! We will be having a time of prayer lifting up the banquet next Saturday (Nov. 7) from 12:30-1:30 at the office in N Portland. We’d love it if you all could join us!
