    Belize Evangelical Mennonite Church Scholarship Fund

    Why do over 25% of children in Belize stop going to school by age 12? Because secondary school isn’t free. That’s why Miriam Eberly, who formerly served with EMM in Belize, started a scholarship fund to help students get the education they need to achieve their dreams.

    Miriam’s scholarship fund, called the Belize Evangelical Mennonite Church Scholarship Fund, provides $200 to $250 scholarships (the equivalent of 400 to 500 Belize dollars) to secondary students who attend Mennonite churches. The cost of secondary school in Belize varies widely, from around $300 per year to $3,000 (USD). When evaluating applications for the scholarship, Miriam takes financial need, Mennonite church attendance and participation, leadership potential, and educational excellence into account.

    Each student sends a letter when they apply for the scholarship. Miriam has received letters from Deaf students, students whose homes don’t have electricity, and students who hope to become doctors to serve the Belizean people one day. “My goals are to graduate and then be able to go to Bible college. One day I also hope to become a missionary in India,” wrote one student named Sally Padilla.

    After four years of running the scholarship fund almost entirely from her own savings, Miriam is beginning to hear from scholarship recipients who went on to pursue their goals. One female student was accepted to the University of Belize to study math, physics, and architecture. Another student is studying at a Bible school in Guatemala.

    For Miriam, her scholarship fund is a way to invest in the future of a country she loves. Would you like to join her?

    $15 helps a student afford transportation to school for one week
    $50 helps a student purchase a secondary school textbook
    $250 provides a student with a scholarship for a full school year

    Child abuse prevention in Chile

    The beauty of the islands lying off the coast of southern Chile is tainted by darkness. Government studies indicate that as many as eight out of 10 children there are being sexually abused. Throughout Chile, EMM workers have joined with others to help prevent the abuse.

    For example, Caminando en Victoria (Walking in Victory) is an organization that holds many workshops to educate adults and children about sexual abuse prevention. Another example is a ministry center for children living in La Vega, a section of Tenglo Island. The center, called Siloe’, is a safe place where children can relax, play, learn, experience healthy ways of relating, and receive affirmation, encouragement, and love from Christian believers. Parents and adult relatives of the children are mostly absent, living below poverty level, and lacking in education and resources. Funds are needed to purchase supplies for workshops, sporting equipment, games, books, art supplies, music-related items, firewood, gas for cooking, and snacks for the children.

    $20 will provide art supplies for the children
    $50 provides swimming classes
    $200 pays for one person to attend a training seminar on the prevention of sexual abuse

    Christian after-school program in Cambodia

    In rural Cambodia, an after-school children’s program is changing lives. Children ages seven to 14 can take part in a program that provides math tutoring, Khmer language skills (many enter the program not even knowing the basic alphabet), and Scriptural education.

    Children are introduced to the Bible — learning about Adam to Jesus in one year! Christian character values such as honesty, respect for others, and honoring one’s parents are emphasized.

    The “character teachers” are all committed local Khmer Christians who love kids. Games, skits, and play times provide fun for the children. The program is unapologetically Christian; parents know and understand their children will be learning about Jesus, singing Christian songs, and learning from God’s Scriptures. Parents or caretakers attend a parenting session.

    Every child in the program is required to attend the local schools: the program provides each with a school uniform, a book bag, school supplies, and a set of play clothes. A local compound in the village is rented for a few hours a day. Used motorcycles must be purchased so teachers can travel between villages.

    The program has just been expanded into two new villages, and parents are very eager to get their children involved. 120 new children have been signed up — more than expected!

    $115 covers the full cost of one child participating in the program

    $900 provides a teacher with a used motorcycle for traveling among villages
