One of the primary visions of YCVM is to construct a Christian boarding school in Kumi, Uganda. Funds raised up to the present have purchased land and brought construction up to the window sill level. If one wing of the school can be completed, the school could begin operation. The estimated construction cost of completing the primary school wing is $40,000USD.
To raise funds to complete one wing of the school building, Chinese Community UMC is hosting a benefit dinner at Legendary Palace Restaurant in Oakland Chinatown. At the dinner, the CCUMC summer mission team will describe their experiences in Kumi, and those attending will have an opportunity to be a part of completing one wing of the building. The fundraiser is a major effort towards reaching CCUMC’s 2010 goal of raising $25,000 for the boarding school construction.
Tickets are $50 each, and $400 for a table of 10. For more information, or to purchase tickets, email ycvmbenefit@gmail.com
