Story number 5 for 15 Aug 2003

(USA)–And, the new school year is around the corner, but thousands of children do not have needed supplies. For many, the need interferes with their education. Operation Blessing International helps American children through the Back-To-School Project (BTS). Internationally, they give poor students meals so they can focus on learning, as well as school fees or supplies. The price tag to help an at-risk student prepare for school: 25-dollars. OBI shows Christ’s love by meeting physical and spiritual needs in this manner.
