Will you pledge $100 a year?
We welcome gifts of any amount. But we hope to find 200 people who will pledge $100 for each of the next four years. If we can do that, we will have a guaranteed budget of $20,000 each year and we can be sure the school is built in Cow Field, that we can help with the efforts we described in Gbonkonimah, and that our Liberian college student can graduate and return to help his country. 

We can not guarantee that your contributions will go to a particular project, but if you have a favorite, indicate that on your check and we will do our best to direct your money to that project.

Fundraising Ideas
  • Host a Liberian Party
         Judy's niece hosted a 30th Birthday Party for
  herself which she called "Building a School in
  Liberia" party because she wanted to do
  something important to mark her birthday.
  She served a Liberian meal and asked guests to
  bring a small donation for the new school in Cow
  Field, instead of a gift for her. She received $650                  for the school!  She also assembled a party box,                    containing a Liberian flag, Liberian dresses, a 
         DVD slide show, decorations, recipes for the meal,
  and other items useful for planning a party.

  • Have a garage sale
  Jane's daughter donated the $250 proceeds from
         her yard sale to building Jessie's school, while
         Judy and several neighbors raised $170 from their
         joint garage sale.

  • Give a donation in honor of someone special
  Send a contribution to LAP along with the name
         and address of the person you have chosen to honor.
         We will send a note card informing him/her of your
         gift.

Returned Peace Corps Volunteers of Wisconsin-Madison
LAP has received two grants from the Returned Peace Corps Volunteers of Wisconsin-Madison. The 2008 grant was used to purchase a manual mimeograph machine for the Tubman School in Gbonkonimah and to help begin the new school in Cow Field.  The second grant, made in April of 2009, will be spent on building the walls and for building new desks, chairs and tables for the school in Cow Field.
