The Work Party
The Work Party continues to bless others at home and abroad. In addition to knitting blankets for babies at Aberdeen Maternity Hospital, the ladies in our congregation collect goods for children in Ekwendeni, northern Malawi. Recently, the Work Party shipped 143 boxes of necessities and bicycles to the Mission Hospital and Uchuzi School there.
'We are very grateful to the Work Party ladies, you and the entire church, for the support you render to our charity work and to the school. The school management is very thankful for the three bicycles you have given to the school. These bicycles plus the ones sent in the past assists learners and teachers a lot. When a child is sick they use a bicycle to carry her or him home. Teachers, who come from far, use the bicycles to and from school so that they are at school on time.

Some of the children who received sweaters
Thanks very much for the stationery for the library and the lesson notes, schemes of work and other school related items. Our library still needs more books and other stationery.
Nursery school learners enjoy their playing time because of the soft and hard toys sent to the school. Some are also beneficiaries of sweaters. Parents and guardians are very thankful for the sweaters given their children.

On the left are children who move from house to house picking up plastic bottles and other items from the rubbish pit. Once they pick, they go and sell. On this day, they were around my house premises with a small boy. I counselled them the importance of going to school and also told them to stop walking with the small boy. I gave them a pair of shoes each and told them to come with their guardians the following day.
God Cares is training vulnerable youth in Vocational Education Skills so that they will be able to be employed or employ themselves. They are trained in Carpentry and Joinery, Plumbing and Electrical Installation. So far we have managed to train 150 students withdrawn from Mzuzu City streets. Most of them were vending for other people and paid food for that particular day.'
