Helping Women and Children in Ethiopia
The average income for an Ethiopian family is about $120.00 (USD) a month. In the area of Addis Ababa where YWAM ministers, the income for an entire family is about $25.50 (USD). The average-sized family is six children. Women who have been widowed are expected to provide for their children and there are no government social services to help them. Unemployment stands at a whopping 65% according to government statistics. The poorest women generally are not educated and have no skills to earn a living. Many of these mothers sell their bodies in order to provide bread for their children. YWAM’s community program helps some of these widows by paying $30.00 a month per child so they can buy food, pay rent, send their children to school with school supplies and access medical care if needed. The need is great and the only limitation is finances.
There are currently 27 children/families being assisted in the community in this way. Adoption Ministry, in collaboration with others, is putting together a proposal for vocational training and seed capital to start a small business for twenty of these widow heads-of-homes so these mothers can become productive and generate income to provide for their families.There are some extremely desperate situations that YWAM encounters when working in this poor section of Addis Ababa. Because of the pandemic of AIDS, fathers have died and many mothers are infected themselves. Several fathers have sought YWAM’s help because the wife has died of AIDS and he cannot care for the children alone. Food prices have soared in Ethiopia and the very poor are struggling like never before to purchase needed food. Several children in these distressed situations have become available for adoption and YWAM brings these children to our Widows and Orphans Home and searches for a strong Christian family to adopt them.
On our home page you can select the "Donate" button and make a donation.
All $30.00 donations will go to this cause.

CHILDREN’S ART CLASSES TO CREATE GLASS MOSAIC
On Saturday, Nov. 7, Frankfort artist Amy Kirbow will help students create a Glass Mosaic candleholder or textured glass design. Students will work with small pieces of glass and an adhesive to create their design. Glass is sharp. It is possible that some children may experience a cut on their finger. Parents are welcome to stay and help their children with this project. Grades 1-3 will meet from 9-10am and children in grades 4 and up will meet from 10:30-11:30am in the Mae Conard Art Studio, Frankfort Library.
There is no charge for this class. Registration in advance is greatly appreciated and can be made at the library circulation desk, by calling 765-654-8746 or by visiting the library website at http://fcpl.accs.net.

GLASS MOSAIC WORKSHOP with AMY KIRBOW
The Friends of the Frankfort Library will sponsor a Glass Mosaic Workshop with Frankfort glass artist, Amy Kirbow. On Saturday, Nov. 7 from 1-4pm, Kirbow will instruct participants in how to create their own 8x10 Glass Mosaic work of art in the Mae Conard Art Studio, Frankfort Library. A self-taught artist, Kirbow was inspired to work with glass after observing a friend in college working on a glass project for an art class.
Designing with a floral theme, students will cut, assemble and adhere pieces of colored glass in an 8x10 frame. Grout will need to be applied at a later date, Wednesday evening, Nov. 18 at 7pm, after the adhesive has had time to dry. A sample window is on display by the top of the Grand Staircase on the library’s first floor.
Cost for this workshop is $55 and includes all supplies. Registration can be made at the library’s circulation desk, by calling 765-654-8746 or online at http://fcpl.accs.net. Programs at the Frankfort Library are sponsored by the Friends and provided with support from the Tippecanoe Arts Federation, the Indiana Arts Commission, a state agency, the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency, and the Nancy N. Fullerton Fund for the Anna and Harlan Hubbard School of Living.

What We Have Accomplished
From January 2007 to December 2009 The Isaiah Project supported a young Russian woman named Lena. We were able to bless her monthly with a $200.00 donation which allowed her to continue her work in Russia. Lena is originally from the region of Siberia and has a heart for children. During our time of financial support for her she was instrumental in establishing Kid's Club, an after-school program for the neediest of children in Perm, Russia. Not only did she help begin this program, but also was committed in visiting the children in their homes and meeting many of their physical needs. Lena is committed to the children of Russia and longs to make an eternal impact in their lives.
We have recently begun to support another young Russian woman named Katya. Katya also has worked with the children of Russia and really has a love for the young people of her nation. Katya is in the process of moving to Moscow in order to begin a ministry where children and young people are rescued from the sex/slave industry. This industry is growing wildly and Moscow is a known hub. We hope to continue to support Katya through the Isaiah Project.
The Isaiah Project was able to fund the leadership of a missions team taken to Russia in early 2009. This team was able to completely renovate a room at the mission house which now serves to sleep many missionaries. We hope to continue to support teams going into Russia, as well as Africa and the Middle East.
In 2008 The Isaiah Project bought the supplies for the Kid's Club to build a large puppet stage. We were able to see the stage completed on our last trip to Russia.
We have also provided:
150 blankets to various orphanages
50+ hygiene kits for street children
100 pairs of slippers to various orphanages
80 pairs of pajamas
Art supplies
100+ tubes of Desiten
