Letter from Former School Parents: Rev. Schultheis, It is with pleasure that we give you this small token of our appreciation to support god’s work at ELS. Our son entered Emmanuel in the 6th grade. Mr. Doede, Mr. Doede,, Mr. Riemer, and Mrs. Meilillo challenged and nurtured him and for that we are forever grateful. Our son went on to study Information Technology at Western School of Environmental Science and Technology. In the fall of 2011, he will enter Penn State University in the honors program on a full scholarship. He is also a recipient of the National Security Agency’s 2011 Stokes Educational Scholarship. We believer that the foundation that he received at Emmanuel was instrumental in his ability to go on to achieve such high honors…. In Christ, Danny & Annette Hicks

He returns to America, establishes a charity and begins building schools in the mountainous regions of Afghanistan and Pakistan. Most recently Mr. Mortenson has come under fire for his use of the foundations’ money and the effects of schools which have been built.
