This morning we went to St. Ann’s Baby Home to pick up Alyssa Gouchie who has been volunteering here for a few weeks. Our destination was church at EAMO. We had many gifts for the children from their sponsored families back in Canada.  We distributed them and  stayed  for church. The singing from the children is always wonderful.

Helping Each Other

Today we left for Ndanai knowing we would need to spend the whole day there. Many projects are under way. Two  major construction projects need our attention.  We plan to begin construction on a new dormitory for 70 disabled children and  three more classrooms.  We have encountered some challenges with the  contractors so the buildings have not been started. We were pleased with the results of our meeting and the community spirit. We are still a month away from making a final decision and the selection of a builder.

The community has started one classroom next to the three funded by Dale Russell of Re/Max.  This was very encouraging.
