She is one of our Canadian students and 22 non North American student and our growth in non North American students has been about four fold over the last four years or so. So we've seen a real hunger for theological education for the anabaptist perspective in the broader Mennonite world, and we want to continue to provide that feel logical undergirding in and support and train. For the International Church who continues to ask for additional assistance from Andy s so we're trying to help us in ways that we can one of those things that's really important for students are difficult for students coming to study it with us at MBs is financial and yes, you sort of alluded to that. Although we have a very generous donor base and most are international students to receive significant financial assistance. However, it's always jelly a gap for nose piercing for full-time students about $12,000 in tuition and another 10 to $12,000 off living expenses. And so students are responsible for raising funds for all of her living expenses. So I want to give thanks for Berkey. I don't know if I'm if you remember in the budget process, we had a surplus so I petitioned the committee to think about ambs is one of those entities that can receive those some of those funds and thankful. Play we received $3,000 from Berkey primer. Surplus funds in the last month those $3,000 go up significant way in helping students are international students. I'm that was put into our emergency relief fund for international students. So their for international students that were directly assisted by members of his congregation in the last month. So we are extremely grateful for that. But I also we can always use more assistance and so Adeline in the 4-year. I have a table set up with some information about ambs and some information just drive out our programs things of that nature, but I also have these nice little cards that you can fill out and take and some envelopes if you want to contribute personally to help our International students so that we as an institution are able to provide support in an anabaptist education for the global robot. Which is growing unlike in North America international church is growing and the church in Ethiopia, which we partner with very closely is the largest anabaptist identity on the planet. So and they are we support their college meseret. They crystals college and we're looking they're looking for us for guidance and support so that they can become more self-sustaining providerone graduate-level programs, but they need to get people trained first. So we are very thrilled about that partnership and look forward to providing more assistance to the international Global anabaptist body. So have any questions of what we were formation. I'll be out at the table in the foyer at the banks.
