Dr. Terry Wood Memorial Classroom Opens!

Aug 30

	Dr. Terry Wood's life was dedicated to bringing hope, joy and beauty to others. Thanks to you his memory now extends to Zambia Africa where abused and abandoned orphans at the House of Martha Crisis Nursery now have a chance to learn to read and write. The walls are painted with a base coat, ready for Kyndra Lane, an artist from Phoenix, AZ to decorate them with bright murals.
	Tables and chairs, made by street boys who are being trained as carpenters, are brought into the room. Each child proudly sits in their brand new place. For some this is the first time they have ever sat on a real chair.
	The average Zambian has a 5th grade education, but every Zambian knows the key to development is education. The children at House of Martha Crisis Nursery, who have suffered great trauma are hungry to study and learn. The Dr. Terry Wood Memorial Classroom gives them that priceless opportunity.
	Some of the children at House of Martha line up for their first school picture. Many of them are hugging their new stuffed animal toys brought by summer volunteer teams.
