Sany Sankua – 4 years old recently became a total orphan when her dad died a couple weeks ago. She is no longer going to be attending the Christian Mission Academy.  Please keep this innocent child in your prayers.

Nelco – 11 years old in the 3^rd grade.   His mom is dying of HIV his dad died years ago.  Nelco has not returned to school yet.  Please keep him in your prayers.

Animal project

40 families received the gift of a hog. 7  hog delivered  a total of 61 babies- 21 will be passed onto another family paying it forward.

We are still looking for someone to investing in a sausage making business.  We have rented the machinery and tested the market it  proved to be successful. But the cost of renting the machinery did not provide the margin to generate revenue.  We need to purchase a stuffer and bowl cutter.

God is putting the pieces together and amazing things are happening! 

Together we are Loving a Village One Child at a time!

Love,
