ZAP, Magdalena, Isaac, James, Namasalima

A selection of pictures from March.
  • [ZAP] Alex works for ZAP (Zomba Action Project). These are some pictures of a handover ceremony of a house that ZAP built for some elderly people.
  • [Magdalena] We have assisted Magdalena some with her school fees. She invited us to visit her home, where she lives with her grandmother and younger siblings in a house that some friends are allowing them to stay in for now. She calls Alex "Mommie Alex."
  • [Isaac] We visited our gardener's home for his daughter's 4th birthday. When we had asked him what he was doing for her birthday he said he couldn't buy her a gift and they wouldn't have a party because they had no tea or anything. We took them some gifts to help them celebrate their daughter's birthday.
  • [James] Remember the story of James, an orphan we've been helping with college fees and also helped him build a house for his younger siblings? We went to see the house he has built, it looks quite nice.
  • [Namasalima] EI is renovating a school with a team from Rotary Canada that's funding the project and coming to help in April. The project includes a new roof, a new floor, paint, school supplies, sports equipment, and library. We're also trying to find funding for toilets.
