As
many of you know, the ECHO Project was started to help address some of the many
needs we encounter around us everyday here in Africa. ECHO stands for
Education, Compassion, Hope, and Opportunity. While most of the monthly ongoing
help the ECHO project provides is in the way of medical, housing, schooling,
and food assistance, occasionally there is an opportunity for us to help with a
business loan that will provide continuing support of a family.
Alex
is one of the young men the ECHO Project has been able to help in the past. He
started by supporting himself by making bracelets and earrings. He was faithful
in his work and used the money to put himself through driving school so he
could get a better job. He then found work driving a Tuc Tuc taxi in our town,
but often had to work seven days a week. He recently approached us for a long
so he could be able to work for himself, as well as teach in the village, and
go to church.
This
is a photo of Alex and his new Tuc Tuc! Please pray for him and the success of
his new business.
