I never cease to be humbled and amazed at the variety of ways in which schools choose to support EduDeo and our partners.
This year alone I've heard of readathons, movie snack packs, yard sales, and even a challenge for students to sleep outside!
This year, we're inviting Canadian Christian schools to support our partners in Ethiopia. Last month, I had an opportunity to meet staff, pastors, parents, and students there. I heard their stories and saw for myself how communities are being transformed. Ethiopian teachers & students have big dreams for the future and you have the opportunity to walk alongside them in this journey.
But there is a still a lot to do. We need your help to reach our $65,000 goal for the Made To Thrive campaign. Need some inspiration? Continue reading!

UPDATE: THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING THE EDUCATION FORMULA!
When you support EduDeo's annual school campaign, our journey with you doesn't end when the school year ends. We want to keep you updated with stories about how your gifts are making a big difference.
In January, I travelled with my colleague, Justine, to Ethiopia and Zambia. We spoke with students, teachers, and parents about how they are thriving at school because of the girls' washrooms and dormitories constructed through last year's Education Formula campaign. Check out the video update below!
I loved hearing the girls use their own words to describe how they are overcoming challenges and how their Christ-centred education is directing their hearts and minds towards Christ and who he is calling them to be. We are so thankful for all the schools who supported this campaign over the last two years!

SEE YOU AT CDL6: DIVING DEEPER
EduDeo is a proud sponsor of the Christian Deeper Learning conference on March 8-10, 2023 in Vancouver, BC (the first time this conference is being hosted in Canada)! This gathering speaks to the heart of what EduDeo's school programs seek to do: provide real work that meets real needs for real people.
I'm so excited to participate in the event and facilitate a workshop called "Exploring the Implications of a Holistic View of Poverty on Your Classroom". Check out their website for more information: https://www.christiandeeperlearning.org/.
I'D LOVE TO JOIN YOUR CLASS (VIRTUALLY OR IN-PERSON!)
Inviting us to join your classroom provides students with opportunities to hear what God is doing around the world and how they can be a part of it. Sometimes we even invite our partners to join in through videoconferencing! Contact me to discuss what would suit your class and share any other ideas you might have!
