A GREAT DAY AND SPECIAL THANKS!









Things are coming along with our new plans for the family development center. Last week Lizene and I (Kathy) went to the Education department to check on some information about the school. Since we want to help adults to learn to read and write we needed to know what our options were with government regulations. We came back really excited with what we found out. The supervisor told us that we could teach them along with the library project. Then if any of our students wanted to have a diploma that they could do the GRD test. The supervisor said she would get one of the schools in town to do the test. Then if we decide that we want to reopen our school we can do that next year. We have been talking to some adults that we have come in contact with and they have really like the idea of being able to study in the day time. There are several schools in town that offer adult education but only at night. For mothers that have small children, studying at night is almost impossible. We also want to have seminars that will teach these adults practical things, like manicure, nutrition, hand painting, personal care, imitation jewelry, masonry, basic electrical tips, and carpentry, cooking tips and other things that are useful for everyday living.

We want to think all those that helped Loran Brown from Georgetown College with the fundraiser she did for Alpha and Omega Family Development Center. We are going to the book store this week to buy the books for the library. Thank you so much and God bless each of you.

We had another holiday this week. We had another special day here at Alpha and Omega. We invited folks to come and eat with us and spend the day. We had around 50 new people that had not been at other dinners. We just had a great day and the day was absolutely beautiful. We praise God for all He has done and is doing. Thanks to all of you who stay in touch and that pray for us and that give to the ministry. God bless you.

  1. Kathy, Odali, and everyone at Alpha E Omega,

    I am soooo happy that I came across your blog tonight! I visited the Home in 2001 and 2003, and I have never been the same since. Thank you for updating, and I would love to talk to you about some fundraisers I could do for you here in the States. I see the Center you are building, and I love that. I am always amazed at the difference you are making. God bless!
