Education Beyond Borders: The Belinga Foundation Joins Hands with the Lutheran Church School in Fort Smith
On a crisp November evening in Fort Smith, Arkansas, hope filled the air as families, teachers, and community leaders gathered for a cause greater than themselves. The Lutheran Church School was hosting its 2nd fundraising gala, not merely to raise money, but to raise a generation.
Under the theme “Rescuing Our Children from the Vices of Drugs, Alcohol, and Sexual Immorality Through Education, Mentorship, and Role Modeling,” the event served as a reminder that education remains the surest path out of despair.
Among the evening’s distinguished participants was Professor Steve-Felix Belinga, founder of The Belinga Foundation, whose presence symbolized solidarity beyond borders. Known for its commitment to education through the “Sikolo ane mfi” initiative in Cameroon, The Belinga Foundation continues to transform its vision into tangible impact — building hope, supporting parents, teachers and students, and empowering young minds across communities.
By contributing to the 2nd Lutheran Church School Gala, The Belinga Foundation reaffirmed its dedication to nurturing the next generation, wherever they may be. This gesture reflects the Foundation’s guiding philosophy: that meaningful change begins when education is shared, values are lived, and knowledge becomes a bridge between nations.
The partnership between the Fort Smith school and The Belinga Foundation reminds us that every act of generosity — every child educated, every life guided — creates ripples that can transform societies, near and far.
