A New Semester!

Hey folks!
So today we are planning to canvas the neighborhoods in Portsmouth and Glanvillia to get the word out about our in.Light.in sessions starting next week!  We're also putting out flyers on the different Facebook pages and around campus to get people involved and aware.  We are excited and anxious to get going for this semester.  Though we are sad to have had to say goodbye to several of our volunteers as they left the island after last semester, we are VERY hopeful and expectant that God will move in many new hearts here in Dominica.  We can't wait to see how many children, students, and others will be blessed by this experience!

We will also be working on the "donate" button here pretty soon in case you're wondering how you might contribute if you're not here in Dominica!  If you're looking for ways other than cash to help out, we can ALWAYS use volunteers, school supplies, and PEANUT BUTTER!!  We feed these sweet babies a meal each Friday and we try to give them some serious protein and carbs to get them through the week (since for many of them, this is one of the very few actual meals they eat during the week).   We will post next week with some pictures and info about our session for next Friday.  In the meantime, keep these precious children, their families, and those of us involved in your prayers.  God is going to do some amazing things this semester...I can feel it!

Love and Light,

Summer 2013 in.Light.in Team

TGIF!

We've got a new semester of InLightIn up and running.  Last week, we were lucky enough to have extra volunteers from a youth group in Minnesota helping us out, and our number of kids in attendance was around thirty - wow! We love seeing all of our favorite little friends :) Also - we love when our fantastic volunteers bring their kiddos along, the more the merrier! 

InLightIn volunteers (new and old, on the island and off!), would you be interested in writing a post on this blog about your experience with InLightIn or just sharing a few photos or a few words?  Let us know!  Let's keep this blog (and InLightIn) going! 

Friday Afternoons with In.Light.In

This little number about In.Light.In was just published in the RUSM Connections newsletter.  It's so exciting for In.Light.In to get a little PR!

Join us for a new semester of In.Light.In!

Merry Everything!

Update on the Holiday Food Drive

Thank you so much to everyone that has donated to the Holiday Food Drive!

We have been blessed with an overwhelming response of donations, and this has allowed  us to double the number of families we will be helping this holiday season!!

At this time, donations for the food drive are closed. We will gladly accept any donations to In Light In, but new donations will be placed in our general fund - to go towards craft supplies, food supplies, and transportation fees to use in the upcoming semesters.

Thank you all for your generous support of In Light In! We will update you again shortly, as we will be completing the food drive this weekend!

Holiday Food Drive

We are having a holiday food drive for the families of InLightIn. Many of the children look forward to the mac and cheese we provide every Friday, many take second helpings, and even some take food home to feed their brothers and sisters. With the semester coming to an end, and the holidays quickly approaching, it would be a blessing to be able to ease the burden on these families during this special time of year. Please consider giving a monetary donation to help buy groceries for these families. Donations will be accepted via Paypal on the InLightIn blog page or in person. All donations are greatly appreciated!
