They say the best things in life are free, so apparently food in your stomach and a roof over your head aren't the best things in life! How will you afford living expenses while you're living and teaching in Togo?
We will help you through the steps of FUNdraising for your time here. We will provide you with a multimedia packet of information for yourself, and to present to potential supporters. The packet includes step by step instructions, digital and paper copies of info to give out, and a video. We are experienced fundraisers, and though it can be a challenging experience, it can also be a very powerful exercise in depending on God's provision. Of course, we are here to answer any questions you, or perspective supporters may have along the way, so you will not be in it alone.
Please feel free to leave a comment or ask questions. If you would like to communicate but do not want the comment published, just say so and I will read and respond to the comment without publishing it on the site.

Hello! (I have been checking your blog since Beth sent out an email here at Prairie about this opportunity)
ReplyDeleteMy question is: How much does it take to have a roof and food for the time there?
I am very curious about this opportunity :)
That a great question! We are still in the process of trying to figure that out. In the past we have had a house where the downstairs was used for school, and the upstairs was a teachers' apartment. We no longer have that due to a change in funding and some of the families with children moving away.
ReplyDeleteWe are now looking at a more Peace Corps style arrangement, where we would find a small house with a bedroom, bathroom, and living room area, and you would share a courtyard space with an Togolaise family. Then we would hold school in our dependance (a small building in our yard.) We are still finding estimates of pricing for these types of rentals.
I'll post the info as soon as we have some figures as well as some pictures of housing possibilities.
Thanks for keeping up with us!
