Community Development at Heart

Happy New Year to you all our friends. As Ovaha's we are very glad to show you our developments and its out wish to see all our plans have come to pass. We want to make sure that children and all elderly people in our communty are being taken good of, regardless of how the age is. In our village we have a woman and her 3 grand children who have been staying in very small  house about the size of bathroom for more than 7 years, she has been in the house together with all her belongings. Currently Ovaha's Hut is building a beautiful house for her and the grand children. The kids who are staying with this old woman what happened was that the mother died 5 years ago and the father dissapeared  after the death of the wife, the search was conducted but nobody could find the father to the kids until now. Ovaha's Hut wants to thank all the friends who has made this possible, you are all shinning stars forever and its our hope that you will still partner with us for a good course of developing the needy in Muloza, Mulanje.

We are looking for these two machines for Our Community

 

After a long distance that people have been taking going to the Maize Mill, Ovaha's Hut we have put in plans to get people who can assist us by buying the Milling machines that uses diesel so that the village cannot take a long distance to walk and pay a lot of money. Apart from a long distance when the electricity is off (black out) many people in the village finds it difficult to grind their maize, thats why we choose the diesel engine that can function at any time.. When the Maize Mills are planted it will be also part of Income generating activity that will help to finance for other things at Ovaha's Hut.

Your support will be appreciated and will change many in the Village where Ovaha's Hut is based and other villages around.

We want to put a big smile to these elderly nomatter what

We are still moving forward

Some of donated items

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.

Its About How You Dream

Dreaming moments

Alot of achievements in life starts with dreams, but most of  many people's dreams dies on the bed or on the mat they sleep on. The other thing that makes dreams to die is the people who are helping you to interprate the dreams, even the color of dreams can make you to fail the progress a head of you. Color of the dreams means the ideas and pillars that can make all your fantacies to come to reality regardless how far you have been dreaming.

Dreams without color

Ovaha's Hut started as a dream, after the dreams grew they started making things to change, when we believe on making something out of nothing Malawi will never been the same as today, this time is about growth and trusting our dreams and realising the people who can make our dreams to slip through our hands. Poking fingers with one another will make underprivileged people suffer and make the dreamer loose focus, wake up Malawi for success.

Now the dreams have started having its colors, just after Ovaha's Hut meeting with great good people like Tara Anderson, Mark Allen Barret, Alli Coyle, Angela Prima, Ruth Markus and Angela Yu, whose ideas is to make underprivileged people's life have another chance to live. The community joined Ovaha's Hut creating the land, thats the other part of inteprating the the dreams. Ovaha's Hut was born to make Gladstone and Takhiwa villages a better place for elderly people and underprivileged kids.
