Lessons Learned: Lead By Example
2
August has been filled with exciting events from the creation and beginning of our Sponsorship Program to seeing our students engaged and excelling in class. We have been hard at work making sure that our students are learning, that we are updating our Sponsors, Donators, and Pen-Pals about what is happening and making sure that we are leading by example.
This past week Project 127 has been working on the construction of a house and kitchen for one of our student’s family. The living condition of this family is shocking. We decided that we would try and do something to help change the situation. It has been exciting to see Project 127’s missions overlap and incorporate each indiviual project.
This past week we saw the creation of Project 127’s new mission, a Virtual Missions Trip. This project is the template for all future virtual projects. So, from our sponsorship program to mission work we are all connected waving the banner that although it is not possible to do everything everyone can do something and when everyone does something big things can happen.
This past week we have invested in our students not only through the English language and community projects, but also through the message of values and the importance of giving back and helping others regardless of your situation. We are all able to do something. This is a lesson that I believe our students have learned as we have seen fellow classmates come out to the worksite and lend a helping hand. Their actions speak volumes to the power of choosing to lead a life comprised of selflessness and love. We challenge not only to ourselves but everyone involved in this journey to take the time to care, to share love, and lead a positive life that will inspire others to follow.
We are pleased to bring you these important updates and as always if you are intrigued and would like more information you can contact us directly at [email protected].
