Local Community Outreach Program - Republic West Arizona
Since its inception in 1995, Republic West has “given back” to the community regularly. It is a part of our culture that makes us proud.
This year our community outreach program has adopted Eileen Roger’s “Big Birthday Wish” and we are fully committed to helping Eileen reach her goal of building a school in Mali. We ask for your help and support as well. Please take a moment to read about the “Big Wish,” and then do what you can to help support Eileen.
Thanks.
Linda & Jim
The Big Wish - A Gift of Families, Friends & Global Community
Eileen Rogers turns 50 this year. While most of us celebrate this milestone with a big trip to a far away place or an extravagant party, Eileen has chosen to use this special occasion to raise funds to build a school in Mali, a landlocked country in West Africa where she participated in a medical mission earlier this year.
Those of us close to Eileen are not at all surprised because we have always admired and been inspired by her commitment to giving to those less fortunate than her. She is an inspiration.
“The Big Wish” is to build a 90-student, two-classroom, brick and cementschool and related projects in the Mali village of Tourari, located approximately 10 miles west of Timbuktu.
