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

4/25/2018

 
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.
LCC received this update and request from Pastor Edwards:    
 
Dear LCC,
Greetings from Yangon.
 
Hope that all LCC staff are fine and well by the grace and blessings of God. 
 
It is great and amazing that all my 70 students passed their exams. I am very happy that 2 students from Grade 11 got very high marks. So they are ready to enter university. So I put them in my scholarship request this year.
 
Here is my scholarship request to LCC.
 
Primary class
10 students × $25 = $250
 
Middle class
24 students × $50 = $1,200
 
Higher class
36 students × $75 = $2,700
 
University
2 students  × $150=  $300
 
Total cost: $4,450
 
I and my church trust that God will surely bless my poor students again this year.
 
This year my country economy is not good. Many rich persons (army personnel) do not invest in my country. So there are no jobs for lower people. (hard laborers)
 
Please pray for my country and poor people.
 
I and my members pray for this scholarship request and for LCC donors on a regular basis.
 
Again, thanks for your kindness and love to my students.
 
Blessings,
Rev. Charles Edwards

Help Our Students in Myanmar Celebrate Christmas

11/29/2017

 
children in myanmar accepting donations
Through your generous donations, LCC is able to provide scholarships for 70 students in Myanmar to attend school. LCC received the following email from Pastor Charles Edwards requesting funds to provide food and clothing for the children again this Christmas.

How is everyone? Here, all 70 students are doing well and hope they will pass their exams in March 2018. Yesterday, after the worship service many students and their parents requested me to do Christmas for the students like last year. But my church does not have enough funds to do it.

Picture

In my country there are so many problems including the economy. Now the exchange rate is up to 1360 Kyats per US Dollar. Very hard to live. But through the power of our Lord God my church members and I overcome and continue doing HIS mission.
 
Last year LCC sent funds for Christmas gifts to my students. All my students and their parents were very happy and gave thanks to God and also to LCC. This year again my church requests LCC to help my poor students to celebrate Christmas.

Most of my students have no good clothes. So my church wants to buy clothes for them during Christmas and also feed them a good meal.

The expense is $1,400 US Dollars to buy each student two sets of clothes and good meals.
 
I and my members are praying and trust that God will provide this in time through LCC. You are always in our prayers.
