In the thread you posted on the school I found this

https://patch.com/maryland/bowie/local-teachers-passion-for-service-makes-global-impact#photo-8015686

Seems this Berndt Teacher makes many trips to Gambia. We have had people post about how there are Children taken on nefarious trips to other countries for nefarious purposes.

Berndt started working with groups in Gambia with that first trip in 1999, then began bringing small groups to Gambia in 2007 for three weeks at a time.

Berndt, who lives in Bowie, teaches sixth grade classes and algebra to high school students at New Hope Academy in Landover Hills, where she's been since the school opened 21 years ago. She also tutors, helps with the youth ministry at her church and is currently housing four foreign exchange students, some of whom are from Gambia.

Another organization that started because of Berndt's work is Side by Side, which started a nursing school that now houses 40 children. That, too, is running out of money to keep going. Berndt is working on a plan to help pay teachers and other employees to keep it afloat.

Finally, the annual summer program is still running strong. It is what Berndt describes as "the ultimate peace-keeping mission." The program is open to anybody over the age of 17 who wants to have an amazing experience and stay in Gambia for more than three weeks.

One year at the summer program, two imams from the area came to talk to the group about their beliefs on marriage and family. To the surprise of those on the trip, they had many of the same underlying values as the young Americans.

WHAT? She let two IMAMS come and talk to the Children about their beliefs on Marriage and Family? If this is what they believe in at New Hope Academy, God Help those Children. Also, why so many trips and so many Children taken there.

    2. Baby Immunization and Weighing The SFP campaign has brought great results. Long lines of mothers and babies come for immunizations and weight checks on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Esther Lykes and Abby Grow helped administer the oral vaccines and weigh and record the development of the babies.

Family Federation for World Peace http://familyfedihq.org/about/

On the foundation of the Holy Spirits Association for the Unification of World Christianity founded in 1954, the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification was established in 1994 with the goal in promoting ideal families that attend God. Since 1996 it has been used as the official name of the Unification Church. UNIFICATION CHURCH? Yes the one connected to Rev. Sun Myung Moon

I am in need of any opinions of new hope academy in landover hills md.

Anonymous My daughter had a play date for the day and has fnially recieved an acceptance call. I have not read any recent posts in regards to this school. If anyone has any opnions on the school please let me know. We have to make a decision between two schools soon. If you have any friends who know anything please post their opnions as well.

Anonymous I know people who've left this school -- dissatisfied with the instruction and the facilities. For me, I just ruled it out because of the connection with the Unification Church (Moonies). Most people try to downplay this -- but I just find it bizarre. That's my own prejudice. When I was looking at schools, I just ruled that one out for that reason.

Anonymous Not the PP who mentioned the Unification Church, but we also ruled out the school once we found out about that connection. The school's site has a "statement on faiths" and it mentions that the school was founded by members of the Unification Church. If you google Sun Myung Moon or the Unification Church you'll be able to read a lot about the religion and see if you think the school would be a good fit for your family.

Who is Larry Yarber?

What is Strangite and what are the Voree plates?

What is the Interfaith Alliance with Kabbalah, Scientology, Jesuits, OTO and others involved?

What is the American Family Foundation?

What was decided at a Secret Meeting at Wingspread?

In furtherance of his plans for religion, West is also a member of the advisory board of the American Family Foundation (AFF), an organization affiliated with CAN. In 1985, AFF and Jolly West held a clandestine meeting at the Wingspread Conference Center near Racine, Wisconsin. West attempted to create some credibility for this conference of anti- religionists by lending the name of the Neuropsychiatric Institute (NPI) at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), which West heads, as a co-sponsor. However, when UCLA was contacted to see if NPI and UCLA were officially sponsoring and endorsing the conference, one of the Vice Chancellors for the university stated in a letter that: “...Neither the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute’s assistance in organizing the conference, nor Dr. L. Jolyon West’s participation in the program, constitutes endorsement or advocacy by the University of California. Dr. West is...free to express his views...and does not express an official position of the University of California when he does so.” Word of this secret meeting leaked out beforehand and prompted national protests from religious and civil rights organization including the National Council of Churches. During the protests, media and protestors compared the secret conference to the infamous “Final Solution” conference held by the Nazis to work out the extermination of the Jews.
