The current kitchen facilities at the Fountain of Hope Day School that is used as the place to feed 550+ students and the staff consists of an outdoor pole support structure and a fire pit fueled by firewood that has to be purchased. This structure serves as the sole cooking environment for the school in all kinds of weather. This grant would enable the school to build a permanent structure with concrete floor, cooking area, clean area for food and a serving counter and window. The hope would be to install concrete cooking pits that are efficient in keeping in heat and burning less firewood, or a solar powered cooking option requiring no wood and no smoke which allows for overall cleaner air. The structure would accommodate future growth.
Prayer: Dear Lord, Fountain of Hope Primary School is filled with children whose only meal in a day is often what they receive at school. The prayer of the Washington-Alaska District LWML is to use our mites to feed the physical needs of the children and staff of the school as well as sustaining this uniquely Christian outreach in a truly secular community. May this kitchen demonstrate God’s love for His children and plant the seed for further work in His Kingdom. In Your Name we pray, Amen.
