Kirche in Aktion has been partnering with a school only 3.6 miles away from the explosion in Beirut for the last 10 years. Every summer, we visit the school and support their staff through their annual summer camp. All summer mission trips were cancelled this year, but the school needs our support now more than ever.
Like many buildings in the area, the school was damaged in the blast. They rely on their building to provide services to their community, and need our help to replace doors and windows, repair the roof, and return the school to a functional state. This school has been caring for the students in this community since 1958 and nurtures the children no matter their background, beliefs, or circumstances.
