As the new school year begins, there are a number of children that want to be at SFAS, but lack the necessary finances to do so. Some of them only need $80 each month (for 10 months) in order cover their tuition! We are looking for people who would pledge to pay $10-$20 per month (for 10 months) so that these students can receive a Christian education. If you are interested in helping with this project, please contact the school at 415-585- 5550, ext. 23 or check us out on the web at www.sfasonline.org and send email.
