The Neerlandia Christian Education Society represents the community that supports and encourages the operation of the Neerlandia Public Christian School. Neerlandia Public Christian School’s motto is: “Learning to Serve”. This is a continuing goal and vision for the student body. The Kindergarten through Grade 9 school is located in the hamlet of Neerlandia, a thriving farm community located north of Barrhead, Alberta. We serve over 210 students as a Christian alternative school within Pembina Hills Regional Division #7. Although alternative status was achieved in 1995, our history of providing Christian education in the community goes back to 1915 shortly after Neerlandia's founding by Dutch immigrants. We incorporate a Christian world and life view in all the subject areas, challenging students to apply their learning to a faithful life of service. We also emphasize service projects throughout the year as we try to teach the students to serve God and others.

Highlander serves as a catalyst for grassroots organizing and movement building in Appalachia and the South. We work with people fighting for justice, equality and sustainability, supporting their efforts to take collective action to shape their own destiny. Through popular education, language justice, participatory research, cultural work, and intergenerational organizing, we help create spaces — at Highlander and in local communities — where people gain knowledge, hope and courage, expanding their ideas of what is possible. We develop leadership and help create and support strong, democratic organizations that work for justice, equality and sustainability in their own communities and that join with others to build broad movements for social, economic and restorative environmental change.

We are microphilanthropists. We make direct investments in specific projects rather than organizations. Our low cost/high impact model will provide Canadian donors with a unique opportunity to be engaged in grass-roots initiatives with very low investments and high social returns on investments. For 2010 we require $51,000 for our seven projects in Peru. We would also like to raise money to source similar projects in Guatemala and Bolivia.
