OPELIKA —
In an inspiring and heartfelt endeavor aimed at making a significant impact on the lives of Bangladeshi children living in dire poverty, Trinity Christian School (TCS) unveiled its “Feed the Need” campaign. This initiative not only addresses the pressing issue of child poverty but also serves as an opportunity for the school and its community to join forces and effect positive change.
Principal Larry Cornelius, shared his perspective on the program via video.
“We have a unique opportunity to help feed the need while also raising funds to enhance our school’s transportation,” he said. “The campaign will culminate on Oct. 27 as we pack over 10,000 meals to those in need and to share the gospel.”
The Feed the Need campaign has a broader mission, aiming to raise awareness among the students about the challenging circumstances faced by Bangladeshi children, particularly those residing in the Rohingya Refugee Camp. This massive 600-acre camp is home to a staggering 1.2 million refugees who have been forcibly displaced from their homeland, Myanmar. Tragically, these refugees find themselves unwelcome both in Myanmar and Bangladesh, compelling them to seek refuge within the confines of this camp.
The meals prepared through this campaign transcend mere sustenance; They serve as a bridge to connect with the refugees, spread the good news of the Gospel and demonstrate Christ’s love through dedicated ministry partners on the ground.
To participate in this cause and contribute to Trinity Christian School’s mission, donations by visiting the campaign website at www.p2p.onecause.com/tcsftn/challenge. Community support will play a pivotal role in providing essential meals to those in need while also assisting the school in improving its transportation system.
