Back to School

Join us for
Grace Mission Inc.'s 
Back to School in Mali
annual fundraising event!
But this year, Grace Missions, in support of
Grace Private School in Koro, Mali, West Africa
Cordially invites you to
 
PLAY HOOKY
 
That's right, you heard it correctly.
In Mali and here at home students are headed
back to class. But we know you're busy,
and we want to give you an evening with your family.
 
So . . . 
This SPECTACULAR event will NOT take place!
Cocktails will NOT be served at 6pm
Dinner will NOT be provided at 7pm
You will NOT need to rent a tux,
buy a dress, or find a babysitter
 
Instead, stay home, choose your level of support, and know that your entire donation goes directly to support Grace Private School in Koro, Mali.
Thanks to your support, 
Grace Missions, Inc. has helped Grace Private School accomplish many things this past year!

Expanded to serve six grades in Koro, Mali
with high quality Christian education in an
impoverished community that is over 90% Muslim.

Nearly completed construction on three classrooms that will be ready at the start of this school year. 
Purchased textbooks for all students,
a first for students in Koro.

Met the schools monthly operating expenses
every month since our inception.

Kept administrative costs to a minimum.
Over 97% of donations go directly to the school.
We all work as volunteers. There are no paid staff or directors' fees at Grace Missions, Inc.
Provided over 75% of the school's yearly operating budget and 100% of capital expenditures
for construction of the new school.

Supported Grace School's leadership
with ongoing prayer, discernment, planning,
and capital improvements.

Purchased land for future expansion
to meet the needs of our growing student population. 
Where we are going:
 With your help, we can:
 
Build six more classrooms
to complete the school's nine grades (Grades 1-9). $120,000 will be needed for capital improvements and construction over the next 2-3 years.
 
Continue to provide the annual operating budget(currently $30,000 per year)
through your generous monthly support.
 
Build a high school
to provide greater opportunity
for the students of Grace School.
 
Hire a school nurse
to provide basic health care and education
for students and to be an educational
resource within the community.
 
Provide opportunities
for microenterprise in the community of Koro
to help Grace Private School work towards
increased self-sufficiency long term.
 
Provide adult education,
vocational training, and literacy classes

Kidding aside, Grace Private School  
needs your help!
