Dearest Friends & Family,
A very joy filled Christmas and New Year to all! It is hard to believe MCM’s twelfth year begins in January. We are so grateful for your prayers, support and encouragement! Many blessings to you!
Recently while reading about poverty in our world I found these research conclusions:
“Access to high quality primary education and supporting
child well-being is a globally recognized solution to end the cycle of poverty. In a 2017 study UNESCO found if all students in low-income countries had just basic reading skills (nothing else) an estimated 171 million people could escape extreme poverty. If all adults completed secondary education, we could cut the global poverty by more than half.” (uis.unesco.org).
Those of you who have been supporting MCM children have already begun to participate in ending the cycle of poverty through education. You have read our stories of many orphans who have been blessed with not only learning to read, but secondary education all the way through university or vocational school to their career. You have played a role in helping our Ugandan children escape poverty one by one. Thank you!!
Benjamin Franklin once said, “An investment in education pays the best interest.” This newsletter features an article launching a campaign to build up the MCM Scholarship Fund to accrue that “interest” in the lives of our children! As you can see from the looks on their faces in the above photo… our children appreciate your help winning against poverty!! Thank You!!
Continually we Thank God for His many blessings!
With Love ~
