ED Project – We Never Retire From God’s Work

Rick and Cathy Hatcher have been partnering and serving with New Life Center here in Zambia for many years. Throughout the years, they saw the need for more education for the children in Zambia and more training for the teachers. As retired educators themselves, they decided they could maybe help. Thus they began the ED Project. While in Zambia, Rick makes tables, cabinets, and other supplies for preschools to use. Cathy reads and does crafts with the kids and spends a good deal of time working with the preschool teachers training them in new ideas and methods for effective teaching. While in the US, they collect more educational and classroom supplies to send to Zambia. They have worked so hard to help serve Zambian children in giving some of them a better chance at a strong educational foundation which in turn gives them a better shot at breaking out of the poverty cycle.
