Crossroads Solar Panel Project


Crossroads School has been providing highest quality education since 1984 and currently has over 2000 students on roll. All the major infrastructure for the school was donated by the generous support of the Christians in the U.S.

For our friends looking to make a charitable donation at the end of the year, we have a project that requires funding urgently: Solar panels for Crossroads English School!

Currently we pay about $500 in electricity a MONTH (not a year) for both tracks of the school. This is a huge cost, especially during Covid, as we are only able to collect about 1/2 of the tuition that we usually do. This solar project would allow these costs to come down by about 75%--and remain lower as we would be producing more power than we are projected to use and can sell it back to the electric company.

The upfront cost is about $8000 for solar panels to cover the roof terraces of the large buildings of both sides of the school. In the pictures attached, you can see the largest of the buildings that wraps around the courtyard where students and staff gather for assemblies. There is another multi-level building for the accelerated track of the school as well. The solar projects for each building will cost about $4000, so they are hoping to get at least one funded immediately, so that installation could happen in January. But just imagine how great it could be to fund BOTH by January!
 
 
So if you want to bless KCCM and the 2000 students who are blessed by CES, (or you are looking for a place to make a donation before 2021 comes to a close) this project is for you! 
 
And please pray for these students and teachers--they have spent more time in Distance Learning than US schools with fewer resources than ever. And they have still performed at the highest levels! So please take time to pray, comment encouraging words, or donate below. Let's see if we can jumpstart this project for them!


 




 

Koovappally Church Project

This year we faced a very bad flood in our State and it affected Kottayam District very badly. We have a church gathering in Koovapally and that area was flooded and some damages happened to the building and the surrounding compound walls.

This church is growing real well and we need a little bigger hall to conduct the services.  Right now they are meeting in three small rooms and only 35 can sit in three rooms and they cannot see each other because of the walls. The church did not have a water source either. Once the work started, a bore well was dug.

Please continue your prayers and support for the Koovappally church construction. Usually we need to go more than 300ft depth to get water.  You know what our God has done when we reached 120ft we saw the water and went upto 150ft.  There was no way to stop the flow of water. Our God is good!

Children's Village Security Camera Project

We are instructed to have around 12 cameras which cost around $30 each. Cabling and other expenses will come around $1200. The total cost expected for the project is $1560

The Government of India has made it legally mandatory for every orphanage/Child Care home to install security  cameras (CCTV) on each gate/entrance and in their premises. Installation of CCTV cameras at every orphanage will ensure child safety and hence will reduce the rate of illegal child trafficking overnight. 
 
The kids had an amazing time on Christmas day at a local amusement park.
Thanks to all our sponsors and supporters!
Wish You All A Happy And Blessed New Year!
God Bless You All!
