Thanks to a very generous donor who served at the Children’s Home last year and saw this need first-hand, there are now 3 new washing machines being put to very good use on a daily basis at the Christiana Children’s Home! The children still wash much of their own clothing by hand, but larger items, such as bedding and uniforms, are being washed in the new machines. Having three commercial machines has been an unexpected, yet very much appreciated blessing!
Phase 1 was adding six new classrooms to EBS. Phase 2 will be to add 11th and 12th grade “junior college” offerings to our CCH children, as well as those in the community.
Double your gift! Phase 1 of the school expansion is complete and now we’re kicking off Phase 2! A generous donor has offered to match up to $5,000 in donations toward the completion of the project. Please consider giving toward this goal so we can double your gift!
About Phase 2: The second phase of this sustainability project is to add an 11th and 12th grade “junior college” to the existing Pre-K through 10th grade Elizabeth Barrie School. This will allow the 10th Class graduates of the Christiana Homes to continue their education free of charge. A large number of additional tuition-paying attendees will help to make the junior college completely self-sustaining.
The total cost of Phase 2 is $75,000, of which $35,000 has already been raised! We are working to raise the remaining $40,000 by the end of March.
Thank you for all your support!
