The Vacation Bible School at Grace Community Church in Tucson, AZ committed to give their offering to help build schools in Angola. Their goal for the week was to raise $1000, to be matched by the church family. |

An enthusiastic momentum took hold as the kids saw photos of their rural Angolan counterparts and learned about their need. They were excited and inspired, building a model of a RISE school, and learning how to make adobe blocks, actually carrying sand and water, just like the kids in Angola. |

They had lemonade stands to raise money for schools, and one little girl placed a $100 bill in the basket, a gift she received from her grandpa when she was born—she loves school and wanted these Angolan children to have the chance to go to school as well! |

On Sunday, people filed forward one by one to place their gifts in an African basket. In all, over $13,000 was given! There was joy in giving and energy in spending themselves to help others. |
