News from the Orphanage

It was a great thrill to see the wall that's been built around the Orphanage, during the last few months at Malavela. It has two functions. To keep rebels out, and to help keep in the most fantastic kids in the world.

We now have ten children in the orphanage, and as many more on our feeding program, where the children are supported in what is left of a family environment, after disease and sickness has taken its terrible toll on these poor and beautiful people.

It was a particular thrill for me and my father who is currently visiting Mozambique, to take the children to the beach for the day. I'm sure that we were as excited as they were, seeing the children enjoying the sea, some of them visiting the coast for the first time, great cries of delight and excitement ringing out as they splashed around in the warm water.

Martha and I were so excited to hear the news that the funding for the medical centre is coming in so well. We plan to build this certre next year. It will not only be a huge blessing to the needy children at the orphanage, but also to the surrounding area. We are so grateful to Deborah Roberts who has currently taken on the task of raising the funds, by her sponsored walk across the country.
