Support the Polly Project: Tax-Deductible Donations for Classroom Rehabilitation in Mpala-Lubanda
The trip back home was arduous, to say the least, but that, of course, it comes with the territory of traveling to another continent via other continents, etc… I suppose the difference these days is I am not in my mid-late 20s anymore!!!! lol.
One thing that really got me on this trip, in particular, was the triggering of my memory of the beauty in the world. Beauty in the land, culture, and PEOPLE! I have always loved to travel, and most of that love came from all the places and people whose paths have crossed. Meeting someone and finding commonality, language barriers not really being barred- smiles that speak volumes and the utmost natural unbound beauty of the earth we occupy. From a bird’s eye view, walking on the ground with or without shoes, rain hitting your face, the smell of earth and green pastures, various flowers, spices, and the like- so much to take in, but, I feel that all of this is taken for granted UNTIL I stop and smell. 😉 Heading back end of July to complete the project. We need your help!

In this article, we will explore how tax-deductible donations can support Polly’s Project and improve education in Mpala-Lubanda.
History of Mpala-Lubanda and the Missionaries of Our Lady of Africa:
Mpala-Lubanda has a rich history dating back to the colonial period when the Belgian government established a mission in the region. The Missionaries of Our Lady of Africa played a crucial role in providing education for Congolese girls, including those from Mpala-Lubanda. The mission’s dedication to education has had a lasting impact on the community.

The Reel Project: Empowering Communities in the DRC:
The Reel Project, a non-profit organization founded by Krista Barnes, works to provide education and assistance to refugee and post-conflict communities in the DRC and other countries. The collaboration between The Reel Project and AL Roberts to initiate Polly’s Project aligns with both of their personal connections to Mpala-Lubanda.
The Need for Classroom Rehabilitation in Mpala-Lubanda:
The current state of the classrooms at the Mpala Mission is in dire need of rehabilitation, starting with new roofing. The dilapidated conditions of the classrooms pose a safety risk to students. Your donations will help ensure that the classrooms are safe and conducive to learning.
