Sorry its been a while, CURE and the rainy season put Ovaha and the
construction behind schedule. However, a couple exciting thins
happened during our last mission to Ovaha.
The
water line was installed and flowing in a central location near the
entrance of the village. The walk to the river (about 3 miles)
roundtrip is now unnecessary for fetching water daily. It has been
greatly appreciated by the villagers at Ovaha's Hut and will continue to
improve the daily routine for lots of families for years to come. We
were ecstatic to see it up and running during our last visit. It is the
direct result of outside support for a small village in Malawi, Africa.
Thanks to everyone that is backing this project, it wouldn't be
possible without YOU!
Lawrence's church
(Enlightened Christian Gathering) is preparing a trip to Ovaha's Hut on 13 July 2013. Many youth (and a few older guys) from
the church will travel to Ovaha's Hut to share encouragement, provide
clothing and toys and let the villagers know that they have strong
Malawian support for a short distance from them. I'm excited to see
Lawrence's church get behind the project and especially excited that the
villagers will get to meet & greet with a group of selfless
individuals that love Jesus.
We have found a
great source of clothing and toys in Blantyre. A post at the
International Trade Fair sells wholesale lots of clothing & toys.
Bundles are put together and sold by weight. We intend on buying
materials from this post to be able to deliver more materials with
donation money.
We are excited
about the work that God is continuing to do through Lawrence and the
supporters of Ovaha's Hut. Enjoy the pictures from the last visit to
Ovaha and we will update again soon.
