These two girls, Roxana and Noemi, are proudly displaying the promotion certificates they received from 7th grade to 8th grade at the La Palma Christian School. These girls and two other students like them, live several miles from town and can only attend school past the 6th grade if they are allowed to live near the school during the week. Last year they lived on campus with the Lalli family, which has since returned to the States. Now they must live with a different host family and need money for food, uniforms, and school fees. This amounts to $65 per month per student. They will walk to La Palma each Monday morning, attend school and church activities during the week, and walk home each Friday afternoon or Saturday morning. Both have dreams of professions—one wants to be a teacher and the other a psychologist.
Support for these students is important to their continued education and spiritual growth. Please consider helping them.
You may send checks, for full or partial support, to Church of Christ, 732 S. Landrum, Mt Vernon, MO 65712 and mark it for La Palma students.
