Raphael reports that the task of producing all 2250 masks is now complete and distribution of these and the soap and pails to the remaining prisons in Northern Region will happen this week.
Each inmate will receive Gospel literature along with the hygiene items, so please pray that the Lord will use this to the blessing of many souls.
We again express our gratitude to Raphael and his team who have begun distributing the items purchased through the kindness of the Lord’s people.
Pails, soap and masks have already been distributed in Chitipa and work is underway to sew masks for the remaining five prisons in the region.
Each inmate has also received a supply of Gospel Literature.
Thanks to everyone who has given support to this valuable effort.
The government in Malawi has just re-introduced prevention measures designed to slow the progress of the virus – many of them measures which were lifted a month or two back to facilitate the Presidential election. This U-turn has caused considerable confusion about the issue.
Goodson says, “Lero tawelukila pamepa” – this is where we got to when we knocked off today.
It’s so encouraging to see the job moving forward. Of course, the next stage will necessarily be slower, but this is a great start.
On Saturday past COOM organised a day of training for foster parents of the Orphan children to sensitize in the issue of Covid-19 prevention.
Ok, so it’s a very basic building, but this is great progress in one week from a standing start.
The builders expect to finish the foundation tomorrow and to begin work on the structure of the house on Monday (DV)
So wish I was there – but then work would only be half as quick 🙂
“The materials are arriving”
It’s all back-breaking work as bricks and sand all have to be man handled – no fork lifts or telescopic handlers here.
Please continue to remember this in your prayers.
Although frustrated not to be able to be in Malawi as we normally would this time of year, we are encouraged by pictures and reports from the camp at Dzaleka.
Sadly, one little girl passed away a few weeks ago, but there are still over 90 children being fed daily, and it is our privilege to assist with this program.
Today the builders have started to dig the foundations for the caretaker’s house which will provide security at the site as the project proceeds.
