Good news to all, the fourth year of the African Cries Out technical school just started on November 7, 2022. At present, 37 students have arrived at the school, including 7 boarding girls. More students are coming in to register.

Picture 4 and 5. Girls are divided into two classes. Some local girls live at home and study sewing. Seven girls living in school choose sheet metal and electrical engineering, which is a huge challenge for women in Muslim countries. Let us sincerely pray for them and wish them to overcome difficulties and become qualified technicians.

In Senegal, it is unprecedented for girls to go to technical schools, as it is not allowed in most families. We thank God that there are currently seven girls attending school. Although the number is small, these seven girls are the seeds of the future. One day they will bring more girls to our school. Those girls will be free from the fate of being the second, third, or even fourth wives, and will not undergo the female genital mutilation. They will be respected and have the same dignity as men.

We provide free tuition, room and board to all students. The annual cost is about 2,000 US dollars per student, thus the annual budget for 40 students is 80,000 US dollars. We wish you can help and support one or two students. We will send you the names and photos of the students you support, and your love will follow their growth.

With everyone’s support, the technical school has never been short of money over the years. All the achievements and growth of the students are because of you, your support and donations. We believe no joy can be compared with the happiness of seeing these children growing up, going to society, and making contributions to the community. Like numerous creeks merge and become the river and small hills form to be the mountain, our gathering love is manifested in the land of Africa. This is the power of love.
