Watermark in Africa

I got the below e-mail from our friends at ALARM, so I wanted to pass it along to anyone who might be interested.  If you are interested, please e-mail me at bfournet@hbk.com.

Dear Beau,

ALARM is currently looking for 3-5 people who would be willing to volunteer in our office over the summer and, if available during the school year.  We have created a job description to describe the tasks that we can use help with.  We are interested in high school students, college students, or adults with daytime availability and an interest in serving the Lord with their skills. We think this could be a good learning opportunity for students with an interest in business and or missions.  Volunteers will interact with American and African staff in conducting a variety of tasks.

Would you be willing to forward this information to leaders in your church who might be aware of individuals who might be interested in this opportunity.

Thank you for your help!
