FROM THE DESK OF DEBORAH COFER

Dear Friends,

I want to share a fantastic opportunity that will make a lasting impact: education. Thanks to you, we are making a difference in the lives of many impoverished children in India.

Our Hope Home project shelters, feeds, and educates 125 children. Our children are working hard in school and making excellent grades. We provide education that will prepare them for self-sufficiency. Because of your help through Streams in the Desert International, Inc., they are on the road to becoming nurses, lab techs, and X-ray technologists and fulfilling their dreams. Today, 80 young men and women attend nursing and medical technology school. We also have 45 young children in primary school.

We need immediate help to provide for their education. Prices have skyrocketed in India, just as in the United States. Education for our younger children used to cost $100 for tuition and $35 for uniforms, shoes, books, and supplies for an entire year. Today, the total is $425 for each nursing student and $300 for each little child. imagine nursing school costing only $425 annually, including uniforms and supplies! And imagine the incredible difference this would make in their lives!

We have funds from precious friends for education but are short this year because of the increases. could you send a special gift to help our kids? This is an urgent need. I cannot thank you enough. God Bless you, and please pray for us.

All My Love,

Deborah Cofer Founder and President,
