The Bridge of Hope

As part of her graduation ceremony, Davida dressed up to represent that she wants to be a leader in her village when she grows up. She wants to be a provider. Thank you to donors and sponsors who give so that beautiful little ladies like Davida can dream of giving back.

The Pre-K graduation ceremony at Makama on July 6th was a testament to the power of hope, hard work and resilience of our Teachers and Students❤️. Our students, including Hawanatu who lost her mother shortly before the event, knows that God loves her and is with her during the sad times as well. Please keep her and all our students in your prayers🙏🏻. Life is hard in Sierra Leone🇸🇱

Counselor Margaret challenged students at the Secondary School this morning as they prepare for summer break:
Corinthians 15:33 “Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.”

“You are the light of the World A City built on a Hill cannot be Hidden Matthew5:14”
Our students shared ways they could be a light in the world @ Chapel this morning in Makama, Sierra Leone 🇸🇱

Good Morning from Cornerstone Secondary School in Makeni, Sierra Leone 🇸🇱. The students shared how they can be “Lights” in thier school, communities and homes. I loved seeing their smiling faces, definitely worth the 1:15 am wake up alarm 🇸🇱❣️

So worth the 1:00 AM wake up to spend some time in chapel with these beautiful students from the Soma Makambo primary School in Makeni, Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 ❤️😊

Huge thank you to all who came out to help raise support and awareness for the Bridge of Hope! 🇸🇱Thank you Twin Lakes Country Club and the awesome Bridge of Hope Event team for making this day so special !

Love spending time in chapel with our students during chapel time in Makambo Sierra Leone. So much joy! 🇸🇱

Our GEM Girls had their first field trip to some local clinics and hospitals recently. They saw how education and staying school can change their lives and impact their communities for positive changes. 🇸🇱

The Christian Education Team of the 3 Bridge of Hope Schools held a productive early morning zoom meeting to discuss the progress of their schools. George will be teaching at Makama School, Emmanuel at Makambo, and Richmond at Cornerstone JSS, all under the capable leadership of Antoinette. 🇸🇱

Saying good bye is bittersweet… what a blessed trip we had …
8 of team 1 made it back to Seattle after 42 hours of travel 💤. (Others stayed in Brussels for a few days) Delays, missed connections, rebooking and rerouting and a few naps in airports we were still in great spirits processing our visit to the beautiful friends and family in Sierra Leone. 🇸🇱 til next time

The team has made the drive to the airport. Prayers for safety and health for their long journey home.

It’s hard to believe we have finished our last full day in Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 We were busy with an after school teacher Staff meeting, Middle School class projects and many little last minute projects- The time has flown by and the good byes are always so very hard to say🥲
We had an amazing traditional farewell dinner of Cassava and Bean Sauce and chicken along with some of our African team that worked so hard with us during this trip. Daniel and the youth choir lead us in Worship & Dance African Style😊 We ended our evening with a very special time of communion together lead by Pastor Rod ❤️ In the words of Pastor Daniel every time he greets us- “God is good all the time …All the time God is good … especially today “ 🇸🇱❤️
