I am so blessed! The Ruth School has a scholarship program to help defray the costs of a student attending. It's not just the teaching. We also offer hot meals, classroom supplies, backpacks for 1st & 5th grades, clothes, shoes, health services, and other things. For only $30 a month anyone can help the Ruth School to be a beacon in an extremely poor, depressed neighborhood of Bucharest. OK, enough of the commercial. You can see how much Ralph and I believe in the mission of Project Ruth! As the old saying goes we "put our money where our mouth is" and have sponsored a student.
His name is Mario, he's in the 2nd grade, and this is his Christmas picture. Oh, Mario doesn't know I'm his sponsor. However, I know he's my student. I get to see him in the lunchroom and say, "Hey Mario, how's it going?" and hear his sweet response. I get to see him in the classroom bent over his schoolwork or on the soccer court kicking the ball. I get to give him a hug or a high five as I do with many of the little ones. I feel blessed to see nearly everyday the difference the Ruth School Scholarship program is making in the lives of students.
How about you? Want to make a difference?
