Work and Witness at Amman School

Owosso, MI Team Gives School a Make-Over

A group of 24 volunteers descended upon the Ashrafiya Nazarene School during the summer vacation and did some major sprucing-up of the place. The team, led by Jerry Polmounter, accomplished the following:

• Painted six classrooms, many hallways, and the KG playground walls.
• Helped build a block wall around the main playground.
• Began work on transforming a normal classroom into a state-of-the-art-science lab.
• Repaired and painted about 70 desks.

The Owosso team finished all of this work in about 4 ½ days, giving them time to see the wonders of Petra and tour Jerusalem, Nazareth, the Dead Sea and the Sea of Galilee.

The team is pictured in front of the beautiful wall they designed and painted for the kindergarten playground. Also pictured are some former students of the school that helped the team each day get the work done.

We are so grateful to the Owosso Church of the Nazarene for their time, hard work, and investment in the lives of young people in Amman, Jordan.

Anyone on the team care to comment?
