A Message From Ann Chinworth

WE'RE HEADED TO AFRICA!!!! Nine Little Light House staff are headed to Kenya and Rwanda July 17- August 3. We will be working with community leaders to hold 4 large training conferences about the inclusion of children with special needs in the classroom, the home, and the community. Two conferences will be in Kenya, and two will be in Rwanda. We anticipate 250+ attendees at each conference, for a total of 1,000 people trained. Conference topics include the importance of inclusion, communication, behavior, vision supports, early intervention, and more. As a team member, I am trying raising $3,607 to cover the cost of airfare, ground transportation, lodging, food, and recreational expenses throughout the entire trip. Budget breakdown $2,216 - Airfare (Roundtrip to and from Dallas and Flight between Kenya and Rwanda) $368 - Ground Transportation in Africa (Van rental, Fuel, and Driver's expenses) $348- Lodging for the whole trip (Double occupancy room) $375 - Meals Throughout the trip $300 - Recreation and Miscellaneous (one day will be spent visiting a wildlife park) If you would like a calendar detailing our itinerary and how you can be praying for us throughout the trip, please email me at achinworth@littlelighthouse.org. Your support means more than you know! Thank you!

In Support of Little Light House

Little Light House is a Christian Developmental Center for Children with Special Needs from birth to 6 years old. Tulsa’s Little Light House is internationally recognized as providing some of the most individualized special education and therapeutic early intervention services in the world. A trans-disciplinary team approach maximizes a comprehensive knowledge from professionals who work collaboratively to design prescriptive programs for each child and assist every child in reaching their maximum potential. Through a variety of programs and schedules, these services are carried out by highly credentialed teachers, therapists, and specialists who represent decades of pediatric experience. Early Intervention classes are provided as a part-time program where caregivers attend and learn along with their child for two-hour classes once a week. 

Little Light House is tuition-free for families and does not receive government or United Way funding. Support comes from individuals, organizations, corporations, and foundations. In addition, LLH hosts four annual fundraisers each year bringing in about 40% of the $4.2 million dollar operating cost that allows our staff of over 90 members to provide services to over 300 children and families, support nearly a thousand volunteers, and train over 1,000 college and career students each year.

Little Light House believes that all children are a gift from God with the potential to achieve specific milestones to advance their quality of life. We strive for excellence by utilizing a Bible-based curriculum in a fun and loving atmosphere. We believe in an individualized, trans-disciplinary and God-centered approach to education-an approach that joins parents, professionals, and the Holy Spirit as partners in order to nurture the spirit, mind, and body of the children and their families. Our commitment incorporates being called to work/volunteer with children with special needs. Little Light House encourages a positive outlook on the future, based on trust in a loving heavenly Father.
