CJ, Janco and I hosted an evening for C.T. and Gladys Ndlovu, and Alick and Irene Kumalo to discuss how HHTH can continue assisting Dadani School as we move into the future, and how they can assist us in getting our orphans food to them every 3 months for the rest of the year. We know we can count on Dadani and Kumalo as they have been impeccably honest in all of our dealings.
Meanwhile, back at the school library, Nyasha, the librarian, could not stay away knowing there were 70 boxes of books unopened in her library. She came in on her own time so she and her helper could get them organized. From the books you see, there are roughly that many more coming when Janco brings the remainder of the books in July. Nyasha is on cloud 9. Not only will she be the school librarian, but will serve the community as well. People in the community are encouraged to come to the DADANI library and check out books too.
They have sorted the books by "kind of book" or subject. Then they will be more finely sorted as the each book finds its rightful place on the shelves. Dadani perishes a book to show his delight.
CJ gave Dadani and Kumalo the necessary funds to purchase food for the orphans in October and January. Janco will bring the next load of food in early July. The amount of food we give the orphans will last them 3 months at a time.
HHTH also is giving the school a "kick start" on their next big project to build a building that will be an auto shop for boys to learn mechanics, a design and sewing vocational class for girls, and 3 other practical vocations. Our donation will purchase the I beams and they will easily be able to get their project off the ground. This helps the children to learn practical skills and become useful.
These are the plans and they will start the work right away.
BITS AND PIECES FOR THE REST OF THE DAY...
David Wakatirinda is one of our very talented carvers. I brought him the last iPhone we updated for some of his elegant carvings. He has been wanting a smart phone for some time so he can do more marketing for his carvings.
We brought Nyasha "Beautiful" cologne and body lotion. She could not contain her wild delight, jumped up and down ending in a great dance.
Let me introduce you to Memory. She sews for the public trying to earn a living. We believe in Memory and will help her in her dream. We talked to Mr. Dadani and Mr. Kumalo about them employing her to teach the females design, how to cut out and sew an entire outfit. They agreed to talk to her and we quickly went to tell her to get ready and we took her to the school for an interview.
This is Mashanga, her husband and their two children Simeon (8) and Shalom (6). Their little apartment is a 5 ft X 8 ft kitchen and sewing area. The curtain partitions off their two beds. If all works out with the possible job, they will be able to rent another room here. Mashanga is also one of our carvers. We are all intertwined. We are all one.
This is Blessed today. 4 days ago we were all praying for Blessed because she really didn't look like she would make it. But the power of our combined prayers has given her new like. We thank all of you who participated in this prayer.
Until the next time... From the Bush.
