What are we going to be doing?
- Supporting the foster mums of the orphaned children of HIV sufferers
- Home visits with the caregivers – follow up to patients on an anti-retroviral drug treatment programme
- Facilitating support groups for the patients to encourage them and teach on basic medical and social matters
- Working in the vegetable garden – 1 hectare of land to look after
- Helping 30 children with homework and other activities in the after-school programme
- Painting/decorating and maintenance on the buildings
- Helping to cook lunch for the patients
In addition – we will be spending time with the project workers and leaders in order to encourage them as they work hard all year round.
And a short safari trip over the Easter weekend!
How can you support the team
Pray for us
- protection over the two weeks we're away
- that God will provide for all our needs
- that we won't feel overwhelmed or worry about what is required of us
- that the team will work well together
- for family members of the team who are staying in Leeds
- that we would be able to see what God is doing and join in!
I would like prayer updates and will be praying for the trip
