rev. carl shankweiler, dear friend of jlss and former teacher, who is
the treasurer of the lutheran board for mission in the usa, informed us
of the decision of lbm to transfer a wonderful grant of us$ 56,100.00 to
jlss. the grant was received early march 2011. it is earmarked for the following purpose: $15,000.00 for
new computers, $11,000.00 for the science lab, $30,000.00 for general
expenses, and $100.00 for the al roberts award 2010/2011. this is
delightful news and it fulfills the
long awaited promise which we
received earlier in 2009 but with bigger amounts that suit our need.
our school will soon be equipped with an excellent science lab and an
up-to-date computer class that will enable us to use the latest software
which we own but could not install due to the low specifications of our
old computer systems. when we requested help from lbm, our computer
class had fifteen computers which were enough at that time; but now we
need at least twenty five computers to suit the current number of
students per class. we hope lbm and our board of trustees will approve
the recommendation of the administration to use an additional amount of
us$ 10,000.00 from the general expenses grant, in order to have the
adequate computer class we badly need.
we express our most sincere gratitude to the lutheran board of mission
usa, rev. carl shankweiler, and all the schneller alumni on the lbm
board for this wonderful grant. we also look forward to developing our
partnership with lbm which is now a major supporter of our school.
we praise god for this wonderful development in our school, and we
we praise god for this wonderful development in our school, and we
promise to update this page with the relevant pictures upon the
implementation of the projects.
thank you very much lbm! may god bless you all.
