| Asante Sana - Thank you! |
The children moved in on the 14th, unfortunately there were camera
problems but we will get it sorted and will post photos as soon as we can. A
family of three siblings joined the original group of 18 children the day they
moved in! As soon as we raise the remaining $10,000 to finish the
bathrooms, kitchen area and install interior doors and a ceiling, another
thirty or so orphans can be rescued from the streets of Kahama. Do contact us
if you would like to receive information on how to sponsor an orphan.

| The numerous donated resources in the shipping container include a high compression brick machine designed and built by Lawrence Slind, Bill Lauritzen and Ron Ryde |
Our 40’ shipping container is in Dar es Salaam and will soon be on
its way to Kahama. One Person President and co-founder Brenda Lowe and Peter Smythe and Ron Ryde are departing on Jan 14th
to begin our smallest ever One Person Volunteer Trip. Brenda and Peter will be
recruiting local volunteers to help empty
and distribute the container resources, and Ron will be setting up the brick
machine and providing training to set up a brick-making business at the Muvuma
Orphanage. As ever, everyone pays their own way on these trips! You can see
pictures and stories from the trip on facebook and our blog.

Strengthen one person - strengthen the family - strengthen the community.
UPDATE: The brick machine is not at the orphanage, it is not practical to run a business out of there at the moment. We have loaned the machine to two young men and Ron provided hands-on training.
