Michigan—Students in grades K–8 at Battle Creek Academy (BCA) raised $250 for the Hope for Humanity Partners in Mission Project launched by the Michigan Conference.

Hope for Humanity has been a source of help and hope for people in need for more than 100 years. Through partnerships with local communities and organizations, they initiate and support projects that make a fundamental difference in the way people live.

The Michigan Conference adopted Dwarfsloop, South Africa, a village 200 miles northeast of Johannesburg, where one-third of the population is effected by AIDS. This devastating disease left children as heads of households in many Dwarfsloop homes. The funds raised by the BCA students will be used to purchase basic essentials for living.
