We are beginning to prepare for our 2015 graduation. It is always an exciting time of the year. Our graduation is set for Thursday, October 22nd. We have 20 graduates this year. There are 12 graduates from the cooking school, 2 from the carpentry school and 6 from the art school. Here is the list of their first names:
Art School:
Julissa
Jeffrey
Cristian
Osvin
Eric
Lizbeth
Cooking School:
Catherine
Ingrid
Jennifer
Kimberly
Lesly
Lillian
Laura
Maria Dolores
Maria Asuncion
Mayra

Carpentry School:

Each of these students has worked very hard. One of the requirements to graduate is to finish a large graduation project. For the art students a large painting, cooking students a large cake and the carpentry school a large piece of furniture. (The pictures above are of a couple of the art school graduates and the beginnings of their projects) They are required to do everything from planning, buying of materials, doing the project, setting a sale price and presenting at the graduation.
I listed their names above so you can pray for them. Pray for the rest of their studies over the next month, pray for their transition, pray that all the learned here will continue to bring change and hope in their lives for months and years to come.
We also want to throw them a big celebration and be able to purchase them each a graduation gift. In order to do this we need your help. Would you consider helping financially with the cost of the graduation as well as for gifts for the graduates?
If so you can go here to give. (Please mark as graduation gift) Or you can mail a check to:
