Akimana Diane
"ah-kee-mah-nah   dee-ah-nay"
 
Akimana lives in Kenya. She is 7 years old. She likes to play jump rope.
She lives with her parents and 2 siblings.
 
We sponsor her with $36 a month. This provides her an education, food, immunizations, clothing, and the message of the gospel.
 
On the 3rd Sunday night of each month at MS FUEL, we take up a collection from the MS students for Akimana. It is amazing how a few quarters from each student can add up to make a difference. Some students give more when they can.
 
$36 may not sound like much, many of us spend that much on coffee in a week or on a new video game or a pair of jeans.
 
But consider that over a billion people in the world live on less than $1 a day. They can literally live off of our spare change.
 
 
So $36 a month for Akimana helps in ways we cannot see. $1 goes alot farther in third world countries than it does in America.
 
We all can do more to make a difference.
 
If we can do this; what can you do?
