Help Build a School
I want to share the story of a remarkable young women who I had the pleasure to know back in my teaching days in Jordan. Luma Mufleh was full of optimism during her high school days. If memory serves correctly she was instrumental in a fund raising effort selling Peace in Our Times sweatshirts. Those were heady days as the Berlin wall fell, the Soviet Union transformed and an ambassador from Israel arrived in Jordan. The hope, optimism and compassion of her youth has never left her. It has only been magnified as she has the encountered the world with adult eyes and broader experiences.
Luma observed the world around her, saw those in need and just stepped right in. She began coaching a group of young war refugees in Clarkston GA a few years back. Her efforts have broadened to helping them acquire a good education and support for their families. The Fugees Family now includes a school which hopes to expand. They are raising money to build a bigger school and expand resources to the refugee community. They boys have created a video to show you their school and plans to expand. I encourage you to watch the video, visit their site, and pass the information on to others.
Thank you!
