Manna from Heaven

the donation of a laptop brought from Canada and a printer purchased locally have been a blessing for this group that have no steady income but support so many important causes.
Home based Care for HIV/AIDS patients
Child centres - 3
Herbal garden to make the power drink
Piggery to allow women a financial means - there is a shortage of funds currently and one has to be sold off - I vote the large black scary one that thinks I'm its friend - I'm not.
Youth group - to discuss prevention
Support group for both infected women and widows

  1. Karen this is amazing so far! What wonderful experiences to have in such a short time. The pictures are fantastic as well... such beautiful children.

    I am giggling to myself when I picture you chasing piggies back into a pen :)
