\"Gifts

Gifts from Antioch Charter Academy 1 <\/p><\/div>\n

A special thank you to Edna Heller and Kathy Estrada for your donations to our Malawi Montessori Christian School. Dr. Maria Montessori believed that children had much to teach us adults. The generosity, sensitivity, and heart-felt response of our American children to the needs of\u00a0the children in Malawi is inspiring.\u00a0 They have moved me to tears by pressing quarters and dollar bills in my hands and asking me to take it to Malawi. Over and over again, children give me their allowances and gifts for the kids in Malawi.<\/div>\n
Thank you!\u00a0Thank you\u00a0to Mrs. Estrada and Mrs. Heller’s classes for the P.E. Equipment, money, flipflops, and original handmade books, etc.! We are excited about our penpal project and the focus on books for Malawi!<\/div>\n

\"ACA

ACA 1 Authors & Illustrators<\/p><\/div>\n

The\u00a0kids at ACA 1\u00a0created reading and coloring books that correlate with the Montessori curriculum for our kids in Malawi!\u00a0 Ok, can I hear someone besides me say, “This totally rocks!” LITERACY! LITERACY WILL IMPACT A NATION! And the kids are leading the way!<\/div>\n
\n
\"Five

Five Thematic Books Created<\/p><\/div>\n

The five themes are: colors and shapes, five types of vertebretes, our planets, fruits and vegetables, and My Place in Space. My Place in Space teaches children who they are in the universe. Children learn who they are in space by learning their school, city, state, country, continent, solar system, and universe. Understanding their place in space and the importance of who they are in\u00a0our world is essential in developing children focused on impacting\u00a0our world.<\/div>\n

\"Books

Books for our youngest kids - 3-5 year olds<\/p><\/div>\n

Thank you all!\u00a0 You kids are AWESOME!!! love, Ms. Maribeth<\/div>\n
In Malawi, English is the language of academic achievement and the pathway to higher education and better employment.\u00a0\u00a0I believe it is our responsibility to give\u00a0children what they need to develop intellectually and\u00a0to give them\u00a0access to\u00a0a future of providing for their basic needs. All children. All children. All children are precious and important.<\/div>\n
Our\u00a0Malawian NGO and Ministry\u00a0is staffed by young Malawian leaders who are committed to impacting\u00a0their education system, one small step at a time.\u00a0\u00a0<\/div>\n
I believe God has called us to establish a grassroots childrens’ book publishing company under Zikomo Yesu Enterprises Limited (NGO) as a way to impact the children of a town and as our third small business venture that will provide for our staff salaries\u00a0and budget. Malawi to Malawi, with\u00a0temporary, but necessary financial \u00a0support, lots of prayers, and a great deal of encouragement from us here in the United States.<\/div>\n
I am praying for the next Malawian author and illustrator to be identified through our effort!\u00a0 Please email me at maribeth@theocean.cc<\/a> if you would like to help us with our effort!<\/div>\n
Bring it on! love, maribeth<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
