The Chrysalis: November 2023

The Chrysalis: November 2023

By Laurie Koning

I have so many exciting things to share with you today! Everything from plans for an educator-focused trip to visit one of our partners, ideas for a fundraising events, and reflections after a particularly busy fall season.

I've had many conversations with educators from Nova Scotia to British Columbia over the last couple months. I'm encouraged by your passion and deep desire to provide a quality Christ-centred education for your students.

I want to help you find a way to give your students an opportunity to play a role in making sure children across the world can also go to a school that shows them the love of Jesus.

Don't know where to start? How about a conversation? Reach out to me anytime to see what's possible.

Discover & Learn: See you In Malawi!

It's been 5 years, but we're ready to take a group of educators to visit our partners again as part of our Discover & Learn program! Back in 2019, we took 13 Canadian educators to Zambia where they spent 10 days learning, observing, and listening. I'm still hearing stories today of the impact it had on those participants.

Early in July 2024, we want you to join us in Malawi! Stay tuned for more details via the Chrysalis and social media in the coming weeks.

If you or someone you know might be interested, email Laurie ([email protected]) for more information.

Celebrating the Youth Summit!

In October, EduDeo welcomed 7 students from high schools across Canada for our first-ever Youth Summit!

I thought you might enjoy reading about what those 3 days looked like and the impact they had on the students. The summary report can be found herehttps://edudeo.com/news/2023/11/20/celebrating-the-youth-summit and a recap video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lL6H6MHbuRg).

Thanks for connecting at the conferences!

I presented to more than 1,300 educators at four Christian school conferences in three provinces this fall. It was my joy and pleasure to see familiar faces and meet many new ones. Thanks so much for attending the workshops, visiting the booth, and sharing your stories.

One of the best ways to stay informed about opportunities to partner with EduDeo is by subscribing to the Chrysalis.
