Hoops of Hope

There are many things that I love about LCBC and how we serve there. One of the things I love is the fact that we encourage our middle schoolers to make a difference in this world both in their own communities and throughout the world. We encourage them to dream big! Last year over 300 5th-8th graders shot free throws and raised over $150,00 so a community in Kenya Africa called Tseikuru could have clean drinking water.

This year the mission is to raise $120,00 to build a school for 350-500 Dalit children in Sattur India. The Dalit are a group of people that live in Sattur and are considered sub-human. They are impoverished, lack health care, aren't given an education, and many are sold into slavery. All because they are born as a Dalit in this caste system.

Who Are The Dalit People of India…
- 1 out of every 4 people in India is a Dalit.
- Dalit people are considered sub-human.
- Dalit children are forced to become slaves.
- Dalit children have no hope for education.

We want to change this social injustice and we can, one school at a time. We are helping our the 5th-8th graders in Lancaster County make a difference in the lives of children in India.

Would you consider helping, no matter the amount? There's a link below to our fundraising page as well as a widget on the side. Together we can bring light into the darkness and bring hope and love to one child at a time.
