CLS Service Project Opportunity – Christ’s love in action! Two members of Christ Lutheran are traveling to Rwanda to visit the Rwandan Orphans Project (ROP). We want to send basic necessities with them for these school-aged boys! The mission of the Rwandan Orphans Project is to provide shelter, food, water, education and health care to the homeless orphans and other vulnerable children of Rwanda. The ROP believes every child has potential, and that education is the best hope of escaping the strong grip of poverty in Rwanda. There are currently about 100 boys, ages 5-18 in the orphanage school. During National Lutheran Schools Week (January 28-Feb 1), we are collecting the following items to send to these boys: Blue and black ink pens, Black cotton socks (for boys, ages 5-18), Cotton underwear (for boys, ages 5-18), Soccer balls (we will send them deflated – we would love to have enough for every class to sign a ball!). Please bring donations to your child’s classroom by February 1. For more information on the ROP, visit www.rwandanorphansproject.org
