Our volunteers helping with the construction work!
These are some of the pictures from our last trip to Zambia, with the children from the Flying Angels school in Lusaka.
We have been helping to build here since 1999. It is primarily a school for under privileged children and is growing quickly. When we first started this project there were 20 children attending. Since then the school has taught 500 children, almost half of them orphans, who don’t pay school fees.
Pastor Sakala who runs the school started off with a plot of land and a great desire to help educate these poor children. With the help of our volunteers we built the 1st and 2nd class rooms & toilets in 2000, and 3 more rooms in 2001. Every few months we travel up to Zambia to add to the project and take supplies.
Here is the latest classroom just finished being bult!
Some of our volunteers doing a AIDS awarness program for the children of the school.
Here we have, in the back Andres, Christian & in the front Danny & Pastor Sakala.
Christian, one of the pioneers of this project and the current manager of this project, is organizing the next trip for January2007. Please pray for this, as the 4x4 vehicle that usually does the trip was hijacked last month right in our driveway! The Lord is going to have to do a miracle to supply another one for this trip.
Notable quote:
Troubles like a washing machine, twist us and knock us around, but in the end we come out brighter and better than before
These sweet children despite their poverty and dificulties always have lovely smiles for us. This is more than enough reward for our efforts!
