Church World Service School Kits
The Outreach/Mission Committee of the United Church of Ludlow was delighted to organize the creation and filling of 52 school kit bags for the Church World Service.

 The school kit bags were made by members of the church and were filled with 3 notebooks, a ruler, eraser, pencil sharpener, 6 pencils, 24 crayons and one pair of scissors. The kits will be given to children in impoverished schools, refugee camps or other difficult settings throughout the world. Funding for the project locally came from a UCC Disaster.

 Ministries matching grant and mission funds from United Church. To learn more about this project, go to www.cwsglobal.org. And to learn more about the United Church of Ludlow, go to www.unitedchurch.us.

 Malayaka House 
Robert Fleming, the founder of Malayaka House, gave a very moving and informative talk on this orphanage which serves youth in Uganda, Africa at the Deacons’ Luncheon this past Sunday.  Additional information is available in what follows below:

 The address for US donations (a 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization) is Malayaka House, PO Box 9352, South Burlington, VT 05407 or online.  Donations are acknowledged by Robert Fleming’s mother in wonderful notes.  

 The primary website is www.malayakahouse.com.  Click on “meet our children” and a photo gallery appears - click on any name and you get that child’s story and a photo album of that child’s development.

 There are many websites with MH information, including www.boboscoffee.com, www.malayakahouse.wordpress.com, www.facebook.com/MalayakaHouse and www.twitter.com/malayakahouse.
