Dr. Marke has been the Chief Medical Officer at the Kissy Hospital since 1994 and will return at the completion of his studies.

Operation Classroom is offering Hoosiers an opportunity to go to Sierra Leone and participate in a workteam at the Brown Memorial Primary School at Kissy..  Three teams are scheduled to go to go in October, November and December and prepare classrooms so the school can be temporarily relocated in order that a second story can be placed on the present buildings.  The projects will include cleaning and sweeping, painting, some electrical work and construction. The schedule for the teams is:

            October 11 to 26 -- Bob Stoner from Valparaiso, team leader

            November 4 to 17 –Rick Chandler of Carmel, team leader

November 24 to December 8 – Bob Coolman from Valparaiso and Tracy, team leader

 

The cost for the experience will be $3000 per person. If you are interested in participating in this very important ministry, contact Carolyn Wagner, ccwagner@hotmail.com or 765-436-2805.
