Children school fees and supplies

Some of you have given gifts to help the some of the children here go to school.  One of the little boys we have been supporting for the last 3 years is a little deaf boy that prior to our helping him was not able to attend any school. 

As is the case for everywhere the fees have gone up a lot during the past 3 years.  Heriniaina has to travel south 4 hours and live at the school during the school year.  The fees this year have doubled since he started.  The fees are about $250.00 for the school year.  This includes his room, board, school fees, supplies and transportation to and from home 6 times at $15 each time. (one to school first of school year, 2 for Christmas holiday, 2 for Easter break and home at the end of the year). Previously I have paid for his transportation and am willing to continue helping if we can send him this year.  I currently have support of $100.00 for him.  Are you interested in helping with the remaining amount.  If so you can send a gift to World Venture indicate on the memo line #6401-900.

This is a  miscellaneous account used once a year for support for children here in Madagascar.

Currently we have 6 children we help at $100.00 a year for fees and supplies.  For most of them this covers the needs, most of the parents are asked to contribute a little bit towards these fees.  There are 2 that the parents can not afford any amount because they use all they earn to feed the family. 

If you choose to give there are a couple ways to give. 

1.  by check in the mail to 1501 W. Mineral Avenue, Littleton, CO 80120-5612  
2.  by e-mail at www.worldventure. go to donate you need to go to a secure mission and enter 6401-900
3. by phone you can call 720-283-2000 and tell them you would like to donate to 6401-900.

Although credit card are easy and convenient please be aware there is a 3% fee deducted from the gift.
Other than credit card there is no fee taken from these gifts.  100% goes to the children.

I pray you can make a gift for Heriniaina or give for another child.
