First Five S.A.N.D. Children In Program

These are the first five orphans successfully enrolled in the S.A.N.D. program. CLICK ON THE VIDEO BELOW FOR AN INTRODUCTION TO THE CHILDREN. Each is now attending school, wearing clean uniforms, and eating every day. When Pastor Kurt and his wife Linda visited them on May 22nd, they had each received a new pair of shoes. (For some of them it was the first time they have ever had shoes). Also in the video is Grace, our new local administrator for the S.A.N.D. program.

New Ovens and Clean Water

More improvements to the orphanage and school. We've gone from cooking in a wood shack with an open flame to new high efficiency, wood burning kettles. The system includes a water purifier that uses the heat from the ovens to purify water.

As The Walls Go Up

The walls are starting to go up on the new school. The excavation and foundation work is now complete and phase two, the building of the ground floor, has begun.

You can view a brief history video of the project below.
