The Egg Project is Here!

We chose an egg as the symbol of this project for many reasons. In the Serve India Stepping Stone Centers ministry, each child is given the daily snack of one boiled egg—a wholesome snack to fill up bellies that are often empty. Further, the egg is a symbol of life and complete nutrition in all cultures. Among Christians, historically the egg has been seen as representative of the empty tomb and Christ's resurrection. For all of these reasons, in honor of this, we are calling each $36 donation an "egg."
What is the Egg Project?
The Egg Project is Serve India's campaign to support our Stepping Stone Tutoring Centers in India. Stepping Stone tutoring is a holistic after-school program designed to develop children in three important ways: education, character, and health. The centers are located across rural India and serve the local villages by serving children ages 6 to 14 from poor communities and various religious backgrounds. The egg as the center's daily snack lends its name to this project, which raises children’s awareness of, and commitment to, a holistic lifestyle centered on Christ, the Creator of life. The goal for "The Egg Project" is to help 5,000 children by receiving 5,000 eggs. Read more at http://www.serveindiaministries.org/get-involved/the-egg-project/
