Truly. What you just did is not small. In Chilinza Village, Malawi, 1,600 students are walking into a brand new school year, and because of people like you, they won&#39;t walk in empty-handed. Here&#39;s a reminder of what your generosity is helping build: 🍲 A fully equipped kitchen &mdash; so every child receives one warm meal a day, every school day.🎒 Backpacks and school supplies &mdash; so every student can show up to the first day of school ready to learn. These aren&#39;t just items on a list. They are the difference between a child who comes to school and one who doesn&#39;t. Between a child who stays and one who can&#39;t. Your gift is part of that equation now. Our team heads to Chilinza Village before the July 10 deadline, and we will carry your generosity with us every step of the way. We&#39;ll be in touch with stories, photos, and updates straight from Chilinza Village so you can see exactly where your gift went and the faces it reached. If you have any questions or would like to learn more about the work I will be doing, don&#39;t hesitate to reach out. I&#39;d love to connect. From the bottom of my hearts &mdash; and on behalf of every child in Chilinza Village &mdash; thank you for helping us Feed &amp; Flourish. With deep gratitude,Sorina Ilioisorina.ilioi@outlook.com P.S. Know someone else who might want to be part of this? Share the campaign with them &mdash; every gift between now and July 10 makes a difference.

I'm going to Malawi and I need your help to make it happen! This summer, I have the incredible honor of joining a mission team traveling to Chilinza Village, Malawi with Mosaic Global and the Mosaic Education Initiative. It is not an exaggeration to say this is one of the greatest privileges of my life, and I am asking the people I love and trust most to help send me. I have two goals for this campaign: 🎯 $5,000 — to fund my personal trip expenses (flights, lodging, meals, in-country travel, supplies, and fees) 🎯 $9,200 — a personal fundraising goal to directly support the school and kitchen at Chilinza Village Elementary Every gift matters no matter the size. If you'd like to give an amount not listed, choose "Other" and enter your own amount. Both goals are funded through the same campaign, and every dollar will be put to work, either sending me to Malawi or directly equipping the school and kitchen once I arrive. The Story Behind the Mission For over 20 years, Mosaic Global has traveled the world to walk alongside communities in developing countries transforming lives, equipping people, and helping shape futures that might otherwise go unreached. Their work is not charity in the traditional sense. It is partnership. It is presence. It is showing up and staying. Last year, alongside their partners at Live Love, Mosaic Global broke ground on something extraordinary: a brand new elementary school in Chilinza Village, Malawi. The Chilinza Village Elementary School will serve 1,600 students in grades 1 through 8 — children who deserve a safe place to learn, grow, and dream about what their lives can become. The school is almost ready. But almost is not enough. Before the school year begins, there one urgent need that must be met — and this is where you come in. A Kitchen That WorksGoal: $9,200The new school was built with a kitchen. But before a single child can be fed, it needs to be fully equipped. And feeding these children matters enormously: every student at Chilinza Village Elementary is meant to receive one nutritious meal every school day. For many of them, it will be the most reliable meal they get.To make that possible, the kitchen still needs:<ul><li>A working stove</li><li>Pots, pans, and cooking utensils</li><li>Shelving to keep maize and harvested food safely stored off the ground</li></ul>INDIVIDUAL GIVING TIERS 🌍 Stake a Mile — $50Covers roughly 50 miles of my journey to Chilinza VillageGetting to Malawi takes a long flight, a layover, and a whole lot of faith. Your $25 stakes a stretch of that journey and it's a reminder that I'm not traveling alone. Every mile matters when you're going this far to serve. 🎒  Pack My Bag - $150Covers essential supplies and materials for a week of service 🚐  Move the Team - $250Funds ground transportation for an entire day in Malawi 🏫 Feed the Village — $500Covers all ministry supplies and project materials ✈️ Fly Me There — $1,000Covers nearly half of my airfare to MalawiThis is one of the single biggest costs of the trip — and one of the most meaningful gifts someone can give.
