In
April of this year (2006) we were approached by local junior school
students who had heard about our efforts to collect
clothing, and other supplies for the Kaoma Cheshire
Community Centre. The whole school was doing a theme
on communities and they felt that they could
incorporate assisting the orphans with their
project. One community assisting another! Children
helping other children less fortunate than
themselves. They wrote letters to all parents and
held a drive to collect clothing, books, blankets
and other necessities. The response and interest was
amazing. They collected enough materials to fit half
a container. They also wrote, drew and made cards,
with thoughts and well wishes. It was very humbling
to see young children with such energy, zeal and
commitment. A great thank you to all of them. They
have made our mission so much more pleasant and
hopeful. In the words and images of the
children.....
