PEF "Perpetual Education Fund" and Self-reliance training.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints encourages the members of the Church to get an education to be better able to provide for themselves and their families.  There are low cost loans available through PEF to assist the Church members to get an education.  The money for PEF comes through donations by other members of the Church.  The recipient of the loan can have much of the loan forgiven by meeting certain goals.  The Church also encourages the members to become self-reliant and provide for their needs.  The following pictures are of a group of people here in Barbados who were attending the introductory fireside to begin the process of becoming more self-reliant.
