Care for CAR

Donation protected
Hey guys! Sara here. Well, once again, not in the way that I thought or in my own timing, I am headed back to the Central African Republic this summer to continue work within a community to partner with their school, orphanage, medical center, & local leaders.

Just a little background on the area is that the Central African Republic was destroyed by war, terrorism, and extreme violence from about 2012-2014. This is where many families were torn apart, people were displaced, & resources were shortened. Little to no help was given, & many children were left without a home. This is where an orphanage began, to give these children a safe place to feel loved, be ministered to, & cared for as all children should.

But it didn't stop there. People had a dream to give these children a quality education, & medical care. That is when the school was opened & the medical clinic planning began. Now as both are running, the quality of life not just for the children, but the entire community has improved greatly. People are given hope & healing through their basic needs being met. Children are receiving an education that plays a significant part in the futures. Not only that, but they are grateful, excited, & passionate about receiving an education.

As the educational technical director of the school, I will continue to educate & coach in the areas of teacher professional development, as well as trauma care. Incredible changes continue to be made each year. Higher student achievement, a new school lunch program, greater awareness &  care administered to students with trauma, staff professional development, & expansion for more educational opportunities are some of the beautiful things going on in the school.
As I am doing this work through a nonprofit, I am currently in the fundraising process to afford to go, & have some great t-shirt options! The shirt on the left is the new green comfort color shirt for $20 (& oh-so comfy it is). The shirt on the right in a navy African outline shirt for $15. Both are true to size!

To purchase one, both, or multiples of these shirts, simply enter your donation amount, & then send a message with the type of shirt & size! Feel free to also email or text this information if it is more convenient.
Again, any donations or shirts purchased are so very appreciated. The funding goes directly toward my trip & the work that I will be doing. The cost of the trip that I am asking for support for is $3000. This is a big goal, but I know God is far bigger & always paves the way. In addition, I am asking for your prayers, love, & support as I take this on. Thanks again for all of your support so far! Much love-

-Sara
