Exceeding Expectations

Sr. Jane Memorial Fund Prepares GSA for Strong Future

Launched one year ago this month, the Sr. Jane Mankaa Memorial Fund is exceeding expectations with $186,000 raised to date.

We began with a dream in our heart and a vision in our head to honor the legacy of a woman whose life embodied self-sacrifice and a vision of excellence for the children of Cameroon, particularly the orphans of Good Shepherd Home.

Following months of prayer and reflection, a campaign was launched to support every aspect of Good Shepherd Academy — today and into the future. And what a bright future it is!

Through your self-sacrificial giving, in just one year we have:

  • Constructed four state-of-the-art Fish Ponds with irrigation and stocking
  • Constructed a Poultry Farm with chicken coop, chicks, feed, and vitamins
  • Purchased Science Lab Equipment
  • Received funds to equip a Computer Lab with 30 desktop computers and WiFi bundle
  • Received funds and begin distributing 35 GSA Scholarships
  • And more!

The Board of Directors of Good Shepherd SLF is filled with abundant gratitude and deep appreciation for each one of our Sr. Jane Mankaa Memorial Fund Donors.

You heard the call and answered it, changing the lives of our students for years to come! The tried and true saying, “It Takes a Village,” is indeed true. It takes Friends, Coaches, Mentors, Teachers, Counselors, Scholars, Visionaries and World Changers all working together to make the dream of a quality education a reality — an education that emphasizes academic excellence, sustainable agriculture, physical and emotional well-being, and spiritual growth.

The students of Good Shepherd Academy thank you and pray for you daily.
