BEGINNINGS OF PERPETUAL EDUCATION FUND IN DR CONGO

On Friday, March 11, 2011 we met with three Stake Presidencies and Bishops to kick-0ff the Perpetual Education Fund (PEF) for their stakes. We were very impressed with the organization and leadership in those stakes. The Stake Presidents, in anticipation of the PEF, had selected sixty young men and young women they felt were worthy, had the need, and the ambition to be the first wave of young men and young women in the Democratic Republic of Congo to enter the program.
On Saturday, March 12, 2011 we met with the young men and women to explain and kick off the program.
This was a very exciting event. These young people are really prepared to make the commitment to gain training, find better jobs, and serve as leaders in their homes, their communities, and in the church.
See if you can find Suzanne in this picture.
