Because many of our mission efforts have centered on the needs in Haiti, I thought you might find this article about Isabel's work interesting! Isabel is my cousin's daughter.....
Amid the mixing bowls and measuring cups in this East Knoxville home, Isabel Deeter measures flour, cracks eggs and melts chocolate. Then the 10-year-old adds the most important ingredient of all - compassion. It's found in abundance in Isabel's kitchen, and it looks a lot like cookies.

Opportunities at Neighborhood Academy
LUNCHTIME MEALS: Diana met with Neighborhood Academy's Development Director and Director of Administration. The school now has an enrollment of approximately 89; parents are now divided into teams, with each team responsible for a certain number of dinners throughout the year. The Academy's greatest need this year for non-parental supporters is to prepare and serve lunches.
Diana is proposing that volunteers from Sixth serve lunch three times over the coming year: FRIDAY DECEMBER 12, WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 11 AND MONDAY APRIL 6. We will need food preparers and food servers who would meet at the school and serve the students and staff: 11:00 am to 1:00 pm, which encompasses two lunch periods. Sample menus are available.
Please contact Diana and let her know if you are available to help with any of these dates.
STUDY PROCTORS. The NA is instituting a proctoring program during the students' study hours in the late afternoon. Since they have so many more students and the school values serious study, they would appreciate proctors who would supervise small classrooms where the students should be absolutely focused on their studies. Diana is interested in doing this, but needs another person who might be able to trade off with her so that each would go once every two weeks. Is there anyone out there who might be interested in this type of work? The time would be something like 4-6 or 4:30-6:30.
