Fill the Coop

St. Paul's United Methodist Church's Wesley Penn State students are raising money during Lent to purchase much needed chicks for our Urukundo Farm. Kate Adkison is the student coordinating this program where $85 purchases 100 chicks. FYI - The farm purchases 1,000 chicks 4 times a year.

Almost half the children in Rwanda under the age of 5 do not have enough to eat. The farm provides food for children at the Children's Home, preschool feeding program, school lunches, staff and others in the community in need. Chicks will provide eggs, protein and funds to run the farm.

A Coins for Lent Calendar will halp you save coins each day by reminding you of all that you have and others do not. It's a way to count your blessings from God.

If you have a Sunday School or upcoming Vacation Bible School that is looking for a project to give back and connect with a farm in Africa please let me know. Next year we plan to roll our Fill the Barn with options to sponsor other animals, cows, pigs and rabbits.
