Ahru Village and School in Myanmar You can Sponsor a School

Notice the homemade "blackboard" and petitions between classrooms. Ahru already has a road and a well built church.

Blessing Hands has been helping rural schools in the Chin State of Myanmar since 2019. We have helped 20 schools so far with 44 Mara schools still to go. We are budgeting 10 a year until all 64 Maraland village schools get the equipment they need. We estimate it will take us four more years. Ahru Primary School pictured here is in Maraland, a Christian area of Myanmar. Blessing Hands' contributors recently gave funds to Ahru School so they can improve their classrooms and offer their students whiteboards and 25 wooden desks and 25 wooden chairs made in their village. There are 97 students in the school.  The budget for this school was $1,200. We are thankful for the donors who came together to fund equipment for this school. We have also been helping Khinphong School in another tribal area in the Mindat Township. You can help a whole school get equipment and change a community! Click the giving link.   Matthew Kanneberg, Blessing Hands' New Board Member, with Founder Betty Cutts

Blessing Hands is pleased to introduce Matt Kanneberg, our new board member. When Matt asked what experience he could bring to the board to meet our needs, I immediately thought of our need for vision, planning, and financial know-how.  Matthew is a businessman who has been on four boards in his lifetime and been chairman of three of those boards. He works for WestRock Company where he is Director of Medical, Ergonomics, and Home Office Health and Safety COE. A center of excellence (COE) creates a structure through which members can measure, experiment, and drive each other towards excellence. A COE's sole purpose is to drive innovation and improvement. Blessing Hands needs some planning and organization. WestRock is a worldwide paper company.  www.westrock.com is their website. I think he will bring a businessman's experience to our board. He is a Christian and has a soft heart for children and the needs of others. Matt is married and has a twelve-year-old son. The family lives just north of Savannah, Georgia in the US.
