TUESDAY 7/29:
Team went to the newer World Vision office in Nkhoma and
met with WV representatives there. They gave a power point presentation
(very impressive use of technology in comparison to just last year!) on efforts
to reduce the spread of malaria & HIV/AIDS. Malaria issues at the
Nkhoma hospital show incredible reductions in patients thanks to the
intelligent implementations and actions of World Vision and its supporters
& team. Other strategic programs that train and support small business
operations such as the use of cows and their milk, help provide financial
support and nutrition to entire villages.
After the meeting our team had the privilege to go out
and meet with many of the World Vision sponsored children. To see first
hand what help many members of our congregation are providing to the region is
awesome. Gifts, such as hand made clay pots, chickens and food were given to
our team from the sponsored families. Their willingness to give these
important gifts showed the immeasurable gratitude these people have for the
support and prayers.

The team visited this woman's cabbage garden, one of the WV projects. Pat thought she had 200+ heads of cabbage. She cultivates and waters her garden by hand.
Natalie and Nestor visited Victor, the sponsored child of Pete and Vi Janssen. They were given a chicken, peanuts and a big pottery pot. The generosity of these people is amazing.
