LBMS Furniture for Three Boarding Homes
The Lutheran Board for Mission Support USA supported many projects in
our school, among which are the new science lab, the new computer class,
the new school Library (Ernest and Frida Stammeier Library). The latest
donation included support for buying new furniture for two boys boarding
homes.
During the last Christmas season, the furniture shop where we usually
buy our furniture,
George
Matta and Sons, had a Christmas sale offering 25% reduction on all
prices. It was a golden opportunity to get good furniture for our
boarding homes. The initial plan was to buy furniture for two boarding
homes, but with the Christmas sale we were able to buy furniture for the
three boarding homes of the vocational students. The furniture was
delivered right after the Christmas holiday. The boys were delighted to
have such wonderful furniture thanks to LBMS.
For the last ten years the best furniture was at the girls boarding
homes, and the difference in standards between the boys boarding homes
and those of the girls were enormous with the girls having the better
facilities. After seven years of repairs and modernization, and finally
with the furniture replaced thanks to LBMS, the gap between the homes is
bridged. The homes of the vocational boys now have the better furniture.
We still have two boys boarding homes that need their furniture
replaced. We trust that very soon we will have upgraded all our boarding
homes to a very high standard which makes them very pleasant places for
our students. The aim was to bring those homes as close as possible to
the resemblance of normal homes rather than army barracks. We have
achieved that thanks to the support of our partners. We especially thank
the Lutheran Board for Mission Support USA for the wonderful
transformation of the three boarding homes.
