Joshua’s Hands is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2014 A Servant’s Heart Scholarship -- which was established to honor graduating seniors who truly understand the concept of serving others.  To date, we have awarded $25,000 in college scholarships.

The scholarship is essay based and expanded in 2008 to provide three scholarships.  A Servant's Heart Scholarship was established to honor graduating seniors who truly understand the concept of serving others. 

Lindsay served with enthusiasm, but realized her perspective was off.  About her experience on a trip to Mexico she wrote: “I had witnessed the needs of the people, but glossed over the people themselves… I was forgetting that the people we were serving were in fact people, with pasts and futures… my service is just labor that anyone could do, unless I make the effort to understand the people I am serving.”  Lindsay plans to attend Geneva College in the fall to study Elementary Education.

Joshua's Hands was established in 1999 in memory of Joshua Guthrie, who was an enthusiastic community volunteer.  Joshua’s years of service were cut short by his death at the age of 16.  Joshua’s Hands seeks to continue to be his hands of service in the community and to encourage others to serve. 

The organization established A Servant's Heart Scholarship to reward a Loudoun County senior for community service.  In 2008, the award was expanded to a potential of three $1000 scholarships.
