An international team of helpers


Here of some of the short term helpers who were there at the same time as us. We were very international: Here are the YWAM (Youth With A Mission) team (three from S Africa, one from Zambia, one from USA and one from Australia), a family of five from Canada and a couple from Germany, besides Adam and me from England.


This is Peter also from England. He is an accountant and had been sent by his church following his recent redundancy, as he explores options for the future. Peter came with us when we visited the Christian Vision church and was really blessed by Adam's message.



Here is the sewing class: Sebina, from Germany, working on the sewing machine and Milika, from Zambia, hand sewing on the right. Once I got used to the machine, I was able to teach them both how to use it, so they could continue after I had left. Between us we made several little girl's dresses and nighties, and boys pyjamas. It was quite a sweat shop, not because of the pace, but because of the extreme temperature; the needle kept slipping in our fingers!
