Friends of Hope,
Your support during the holiday season, and every other season, makes it possible to provide living-wage salaries to the teachers and staff at Hope International. We would like to celebrate principal, Mark Howe, who exemplifies #WeAreHope beautifully.
Recently, Mark shared a photo on Facebook and the comments announcing #WeAreHope started appearing right away.
When our founding principal, Joseph Cummings, semi-retired last year, Mark stepped into the principal role. An ever-present educator since the very first days of Hope International 15 years ago, he has become part of the foundation from which everything has grown. He personifies hope and steadiness.
We asked Mark to give us a photo timeline of his day as principal this past Monday at Hope International.
The hope that the school staff brings each and every day is everything. Hope is showing up each day and supporting the students. Hope is preparing lessons and correcting papers. Hope is arriving early and staying late. Hope is giving years in service to Liberia’s future leaders. Hope is seeing these educators and students and supporting them, making a way where it once seemed impossible.
Mark, his fellow educators, the students, the surrounding community, you, me…all together, and only together.
Together, #WeAreHope.
