The last twenty months have been very productive. Thanks to your prayers and financial support, we have built the Pearl Dudek International Academy (PDIA) in Sierra Leone. On September 7, the school bells rang for 80 eager students – Nursery school to Grade 5. Operating an orphanage while starting a school in the middle of a global pandemic has presented us with financial challenges. We expect it will be about three years before the PDIA will be self-funding; therefore, your continued prayers and financial support are appreciated. You may support SLAM by designating your donation through the parish; you may make an electronic transfer of funds from your bank to slam@accountabledevelopment.org; or if you are able to generously commit to a monthly withdrawal from your bank account, please follow these instructions.
