Trailers Leave, Funding Needed

     The three trailers containing 30,000 school textbooks have left Austin, Texas on the way to schools all over Malawi. Briele has done her job. She obtained the books from the Austin School System, and the Western Hill Church of Christ has raised over $20,000.00 in spite of being a congregation of only a little over 100. The total cost for shipping is $38,000.00.

     Now we need your help. Most often the size of the programs of the Malawi Project leave many people feeling their contribution will not amount to much. This is not true. The Project does not have contributors that fund massive parts of the program. The funds that come to the Malawi Project come from donations of $25,00, $50,00 or $100.00. Sometimes someone will send $500.00, but this is an exception. Your check, along with others, is the life blood of what we do. Please consider helping with the textbook shipping. Send your contribution to Malawi Project, 1365  5th Ave, Terre Haute, IN 47807 and mark it  "textbooks". Thanks for your help.

30,000 Textbooks for Malawi

It started on a recent trip to Austin, Texas where the plight of the children of Malawi was discussed with a small group of Christians one Saturday night. Among the group was a teenager by the name of Brielle.

She asked, “Can they use school textbooks?”

The answer was “yes”.

One could not imagine at the time that Brielle would be so successful that two 40-foot trailers are being prepared for shipment to Malawi. The trailers will contain 30,000 school textbooks. Brielle has done her part. The textbooks are in a warehouse awaiting shipment to Malawi.

Now it is up to the rest of us to step up and help her reach her goal. It will cost nearly $33,000.00 to send the trailers halfway around the world with the much needed school books. The Western Hills Church of Christ, 6211 Parkwood Dr., Austin, TX 78735 has determined to find a way to raise the funds and make the shipment possible. They are asking for your help to accomplish this, and you can make your contribution directly to their address or go to the MalawiProject.org site and send a contribution through PayPal.
