Friends Scholarship

ZambiaTomorrow — Tue, 22 Jan 2013 11:43:26 +0000

The goal of the Vītols Fund is to provide scholarships for capable, dedicated young people from low-income families for studies in the universities of Latvia. The situation in the Latvian rural schools helped the founders of the foundation define the goal to which the foundation targets its activities – to grant scholarships to those secondary school graduates from rural areas, whose family material circumstances prevent them from continuing the studies in a university. Fund scholarships are granted to those who have good grades in their reports (average marks of 7 or higher), have succeeded in academic contests and who come from low-income families.

Pet food – the shelter requires several tens of kilos of food every day. Vaccines, medicine and veterinary care – all animals in the shelter are medically examined, vaccinated and sterilised. Quite often the animals found are so weak that they require special care or even treatment for injuries.

But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete framework of the theme, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful.

Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but because occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure. To take a trivial example, which of us ever undertakes laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from it?
But who has any right to find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has no annoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain that produces no resultant pleasure?

Happy Birthday MICS!

ZambiaTomorrow — Wed, 16 Feb 2011 21:19:21 +0000

MICS started the 2011 school year a few weeks ago in the MICS Boarding House building. Today, February 1st we opened our new school building with a grand birthday party celebration. In 2006 MICS opened with 10 first graders in a borrowed room at the Mission Hospital. Today we opened our new school classrooms with 100 children in grades Reception (kindergarten) to Grade 6. Each class now has a beautiful spacious room.

The MICS theme for 2011 is from Luke 1:37. “With God Nothing is Impossible”. The teachers and students planned and presented a wonderful program that praised the Lord and thanked Him for the many blessing He has given MICS. Truly this school building would not have been possible without God. It is indeed a miracle!

Finally……….. Birthday cake was then enjoyed by all.

Children’s House

ZambiaTomorrow — Sat, 04 Dec 2010 23:52:18 +0000

Every day at the Auce Crisis Centre Namiņš, several dozens of Auce’s little citizens receive dinner and clothing for free. These are children who have become victims of domestic violence, who lack and who are missing parental care and love.

Living conditions for children in rural areas are often very difficult – unemployed parents and their destructive habits prevent children from receiving wholesome food, clothing and medical care. State social services are not able to help the families to the extent necessary because the provided benefits are not sufficient to provide for children and their schooling. The funds provided are also quite often are used to satisfy parental weaknesses rather than the needs of their children.

Container Project Begins

ZambiaTomorrow — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 02:48:56 +0000

We have started to plan the organizing, packing and shipping of a cargo container to MICS. This is a HUGE project. It will involve the help of many people and many hours of work collecting and packing donated items. It will also involve several fundraisers to collect the needed funds for the shipment of the cargo container.

There are so many needs at MICS. It is extremely difficult to get many of the items that are essential to running a quality school. this container will allow us to send many of these items that they can not get over there.

The project was kicked off by Cheryl Timmerman and Rita Jansen of St. Rose, IL. They organized a scavenger hunt to raise money for the container and collect some of the needed items (link to news paper story). This is the 4th scavenger hunt they have organized. Money raised from previous events went toward scholarhips and the new Toyota for the school. Thanks Cheryl and Rita for your commitement and support to the school and children of MICS!!
