Many of you will remember our very first NLLB recipient, Apolo. He suffered
3rd degree burns to his face and hands during an earthquake from the 2004 Tsunami
Quakes. He was found many months later and NLLB brought him to Jakarta where he
received reconstructive surgery. Since then, Apolo married and had 5 children, his
wife dying in childbirth with the 5th child. The baby was born prematurely and Apolo
took her to a convent that cared for infants, where she stayed for 2 years. She is now
healthy and back home. Apolo remarried and has another child. His daughter Linly
is 11 and very bright, but in the village there has limited education. Apolo asked if
we could find a way to educate Linly and we have recently moved her to Jakarta
to one of our amazing young Indonesian families who foster children for NLLB
(Bryan & Peber).
After having Linly tested, we discovered she was 5 years behind students in Jakarta
and she will need intensive tutoring. A small Christian school has been found that will
take her and help her excel. In her first month in Jakarta she has already completed
one year of education and is now 4 years behind. NLLB has 2 students that we are supporting currently. If you would like to be a part of educating children and young adults please let us know. We continue to change lives... one person at a time.
