Accomplished & Trips to India

Last Coconut Foundation is a registered 501 (c)(3) charitable organization.

India: 2013

FIRST STOP: Bangalore for a young man the foundation has supported through the first phase of his higher education. He will continue on for an additional 2 years for an advanced degree. We have known this fine young man for over 6 years and look forward to seeing him once again.

SECOND STOP: Chennai to begin supporting an English Medium school, Zamar Academy, which offers a free education taught in English to children from below poverty level. In India an English school is private, reserved for the upper and middle classes. English is the difference between poverty and sparing an entire family from a day-labor existence for generations to come.

Martin & Karen: Exploration trip to see if the door was still open for LCF to serve in India.

Visited tribal villages, daycare centers, after school centers, lab tech college, Zamar Academy (a free English Medium School for impoverished children) and Michael's Children's Home

PRINCE & ANNIE WEDDING: What a privilege to attend the wedding of our Prince and our new member of the family, Annie. Both are completing their degrees at SAICS

Computers for the Computer Lab

“We are writing this mail to you to express the immense joy we feel because of the wonderful gift you have given us. You must see the joy, the excitement and the curiosity on the faces of our children; it just blows our mind away."

***We were unable to attend the "Dedication" of the new school (see photos in the "Gallery") due to the wedding.

PRINCE & ANNIE - INDIA: Having earned both Master of Theology and Master of Divinity degrees at SAICS, Prince is currently working part time for a local church and has been asked to teach at SAICS, the premier theological school in Asia. This is an honor well deserved. We could not be more proud of Prince. LCF is also supporting Annie, Prince’s wife, who is in the final year of her Master of Divinity education. God will do great things in India through Prince and Annie. There will be an addition to the Prince family in the Spring!

ZAMAR ACADEMY - KINDERGARTEN GRADUATION:

In India, schools taught in "English" are private, costly, and reserved for the middle and upper classes. Armed with such an education, a child of day laborers will change the family’s future for generations to come. At Zamar Academy this ceremony marks the beginning of a child’s education, an occasion to be celebrated.
