Hello and best wishes for 2011!

I haven't updated this blogsite for some months, as I was having trouble downloading photos but as you can see all is now well!

We have had a busy 6 months with football matches, a huge gathering of children in September where we all had a lot of fun, games were played and the children had dancing competitions. Sabina Govere, our psychologist has been doing wonderful work with the orphans. When she started, the kids were too shy to share in groups, but now they chat away happily, sharing their joys and their pains.

We have also had a lot of visitors - Meredith McCord and her family from Texas, Fr Joseph Knapp, his sister and friends and Yahitta Hassim and a student who was researching childrens rights in particular with regard to orphan-headed homes.

We'll be starting food distribution at the end of this week, on 8th January.
