  $4,450 Needed to Provide Myanmar School Scholarships for 72 Students
  

  While most of our schools will soon be closing for the summer, June 1st will be the opening day for the schools in Myanmar (formally Burma). Last year, because of your generous gifts, Lutheran Church Charities was able to provide scholarships for 70 children to attend school in Myanmar.
  
  Since 2011, LCC has been raising funds for scholarships so that the children of Pastor Edwards' church can attend school. The scholarships cover the cost of fees, textbooks, exercise books, school bags, pens, pencils, rulers, erasers, correction pens, colored pencils, compass boxes, school uniforms, and rain coats or umbrellas. Education in Myanmar only costs $25 - $150 per student for five months of school. $4,450 will cover the cost of educating all 72 students.
