Fundraising for the Christian Primary School in Odesa, Ukraine

MYKYTA POTAPENKO

I am Hanna Potapenko, the mother of Mykyta Potapenko, the 8th grader of the Adventist secondary school “DiyeSlovo in Odesa”. Our family lives in Odesa. My husband and I work for a government agency. We have two sons. The elder son studies at the university and the younger son, Mykyta, studies at school “DiyeSlovo in Odesa”. My son likes this school very much. It has very warm atmosphere and caring teachers who teach with respect and love for children!

But, even though my husband and I both have a job, our earnings are not enough to support the family and pay the full monthly amount of 6000 UAH (≈146$) for our son's education. Now we can pay only half of this amount – 3000 UAH (≈73$) per month. We would be deeply grateful to everyone for helping us in further education of Mykyta in this school "DiyeSlovo in Odesa".

The school offers the integration of biblical truth into the educational process, creating an atmosphere where children can develop spiritually, intellectually and socially.

Appeal of the Principal

Dear friends!

We thank God for the opportunity to serve Him together in this difficult time, when our territory has become the epicenter of suffering, anxiety and hope for quick liberation.

The Adventist school in Odesa is going through serious trials and needs your help. We rely entirely on God, but He has also commissioned us to support His cause through our faithfulness, dedication, and sacrifice.

Many parents who previously did not know our Church are now approaching it through Adventist education, where their children are introduced to Bible truth and God's plan of salvation. However, due to the crisis, these families can cover only part of the education costs.

We cannot offer a discount, as this would jeopardize the ability to pay rent for a school located in an area with many families with children.

We are asking you to help find people who are ready to support these families every month, covering the missing amount.

"We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves. Each of us should please our neighbors for their good, to build them up.." (Romans 15:1,2).

E. White noted that regular financial assistance to families for the education of their children in Adventist institutions is equivalent to missionary work. Therefore, we are sure that God will richly bless everyone who joins this cause.

May God richly bless you for your devoted heart to Him.

Sincerely,
principal of the Adventist school "DieSlovo in Odesa"
Olesya Vereshchak

How Does School Support Take Place?

For more complete understanding, we provide information on how the school is currently supported at the local level and how its activities are ensured.

PAYMENT FOR EDUCATION FROM PARENTS

First of all, the main income for the school is the monthly payment of parents for their children's education. There are parents who are able to pay the full cost of education, and there are those who can pay partially.

SUPPORT BY CHURCH ORGANIZATIONS

We receive a fixed grant from local churches, the Southern Conference, the Ukrainian Union, and the General Conference, which covers 30% of teacher salaries. The Southern Conference provides significant support despite its financial difficulties and reduced budget due to the difficult situation on the territory, where most of it is occupied. Many members of the church have left the country and stopped sending donations.

ONE-TIME SPONSOR SUPPORT

Thanks to donations, our school was able to survive in the initial stage of its establishment to a large extent. However, this is not a stable part of the support, as it depends on the individual capabilities and wishes of the sponsors.

VOLUNTEER SUPPORT

This is a huge non-financial support from members of local communities, who help prepare the new premises for the school year: furnishing classrooms, cleaning, transporting equipment and much more.

All of the above income and support is not enough to maintain the school, pay rent and utilities. After all, some parents are unable to pay the full cost of their children's education. And children are our main thing. It is for their sake that we carry out the mission of the school. Therefore, we turn to you for regular support, which we sorely lack.
