Remember Tom and Becky Rogers who moved to Ghana on a dream and a prayer to mentor families? We asked Becky how her children participate in their rapidly growing projects and programs there. Are they part of their family mentoring other families?
In a word, yes! Becky reports that her children work at the literacy center several days a week and are “hands-on involved” in every part of the work there. She shared these pictures, worth thousands of words, and mused, “Yes, as I look through all these photos, I am realizing again that my children work pretty hard!”
This family is a perfect illustration of this month’s tenet, “We greatly value the unique and contributing roles of families.” Their work and example are teaching other families this important truth.
Norma grew up in rural Utah in a home furnished with good books and music, the newspaper, and fresh-baked cookies. She still enjoys big ideas, baking, and sharing life with Clyde—her husband, best friend, and versatile life assistant. Norma had dreams of writing a newspaper column. She even earned a degree in newswriting at the University of Utah—30 years, five children, and several grandchildren after beginning at Snow College. Now she not only gets to write and edit, but also rub shoulders and share great ideas with the capable, passionate members of Big Ocean.
