Dear friends and supporters of Kindle,
When I started exploring Kindle in the middle of this year, the thing that impressed me were the projects—in this age when everyone likes to call things “holistic,” I saw something that really was.
But the more involved I get with Kindle, the more I see that the best part of Kindle is not the projects, but the people. Here in this continent that is known for ethnic conflict, Kindle’s management team consists of three department heads, an administrator, and myself, all from different ethnic groups. It is a joy for me to see everyone interacting at our weekly management team meetings, offering suggestions and encouragement to one another, and even more importantly, acceptingsuggestions and encouragement from one another. I haven’t had a chance yet to start getting to know most of the other members of staff, but I know that they are appreciated and cared for by the department heads.
Sadly, this wonderful staff is about to enter hard times. Because of some delayed support funds, Kindle’s bank account balance is so low right now that we have been unable to pay October salaries, which should have been processed last week.
We ask you to join us in praying that God will provide as only He is able.
Thank you for your interest, your prayers, and your partnership with us!
Dean Stocker
Director of Kindle
At a local secondary school I was sad to see a classroom with no textbooks—just one empty desk after another! We have a volunteer (below right) at the school assisting in a few subjects.
We sponsored a seminar last month on teaching adult literacy. One of the participants has already started holding classes three days per week!
