Welcome to the IDEA Foundation

The idea is that the right gift, at the right time can change the stories of families and communities for generations to come. That 'right gift' is a combination of tools and training.

 

The IDEA Foundation supports education and health projects in Sierra Leone that provide long-term solutions to the problems facing the country.

Best Gala Yet

THANK YOU to all of our guests and volunteers who made the IDEA Foundation's 3rd Annual Gala the best yet!  We welcomed 110 guests and raised over $20,000 to build a healthy and sustainable Sierra Leone.

 

Among the items donated were original oil paintings created by award-winning artists and textiles from the women's vocational program.  The fund-a-need portion of our live auction was again wildly popular.

 

Persons of note in attendance were Evanelical Lutheran Church clergy including Bp. Tom Barnett (Sierra Leone), Bp. Kevin Kanouse, North Texas Northern Louisianna Mission Area, retired Bp. Mark Herbener and Pr. Peder Sandager.  We were also please to see Peg Meyer of Water to Thrive, several Sisters of Sierra Leone, and members of the Krio Descendants Union.

 

The bulk of the work was accomplished by gala co-chairs Becky Gray and Sarah Nichols.  Ladies, we cannot thank you enough.
