Ways you can Help!

If you'd like to get involved by helping with our trip, here are some ways to do that. None of the money that is donated will go to us, it will all go directly to help the orphans and toward projects that will help sustain the Liberian people we will serve.

1.) Project Funds- We would really LOVE to bless this solid Liberian ministry with financial resources for dire needs that they face everyday. Last year, the team members raised their own trip costs ~plus whatever extra funds they could ~ to go toward specific projects that were needed. These funds went toward things like food for the children, mattresses and bunk beds so that the children were no longer sleeping on the ground, mosquito nets to lessen the risk of malaria, a wall around the orphanage to protect them from the many thefts that occurred, and seeds for the Liberians to begin the agricultural initiatives that ACFI has started up. Our team will be raising as much as we can before we go, to be used for these types of projects. (You can make a donation toward these specific uses by following the instructions on the bottom of the page. )
2.)You can sponsor a specific child at the boarding school for $40 a month, and encourage them and love on them through occasional letters! Go to the following website for details. Www.africanchildsponsorship.com There is a huge and constant need for support so that the hundreds of children can be fed and clothed. You are also able to make larger or one-time direct donations to the boarding school (orphanage) on that same website.

3.)You can help us to gather supplies that we need to bring to Liberia. We are extremely limited in what we can bring, as there is no postal system and everything we need for the week's work, and to leave with the children and ACFI ministry, must fit into the 2 check-in suitcases that we will bring. Our personal items must all fit into our one carry-on bag. There is a long checklist of items that we want to bring which includes specific food items, hundreds of toothbrushes, soccer balls and sports equipment, some of the tools for the construction projects, clothing, flip-flops, and many, many more items as well.
I will be responsible for collecting:
*50-75 tubes of toothpaste,
*20 boxes of band-aids (variety of sizes),
*10 bags of cotton balls, and
*at least 350 good quality pencils.
I may collect more things, but will start with those. If you'd like to help with these items, please commit to a certain amount, and let me know before you purchace them... as we can only take as much as we can carry, have a very specific list to work from, and do not want to receive more of these things than we carry.
Please know that ALL of these ways to give will go directly for these purposes, and will bless the children and adults that we will be directly working with in Liberia!

Thank you for wanting to help!!! It's such an encouragement to us!
