We want to say thank you for all of your support over the past year - and let you know some of the goals and plans we have in store for 2017. Please consider supporting us as we take on these challenges!
2016 Successes:
- Expanded Garden - We took advantage of a large amount of unused property, and are now growing melons and squash.
- 4 Kindergarten Graduates - Samunzala Ntwala, Makena Muyunda, Matengu Tabo Happy, and Imbuwa Inonge head off to Grade 1. They each received new uniforms and shoes thanks to your donations!
- 4 Board Members - Becca, Cassie, Kristen, and Luke joined alongside Jess and Elton and have laid the groundwork for our non-profit status in the US.
2017 Plans:
- Elton's Travel - Elton will be flying to Namibia on January 15 to tackle new garden projects and deliver supplies.
- Protein Source - We want to develop a good source of protein for our community, and are currently exploring the best options.
- Improved Water Tank - We need to repair the base of our current water tank, replacing wood with a metal frame.
- Expanded Board - We'll be expanding our board to 8 members and finalizing our non-profit status.
If you'd like to show your support for any of these projects, please consider the following:
- Pray for the safety of our volunteers and staff, wisdom for the leaders, and health for the kids and community we're reaching.
- Donate online through GoFundMe.
- Invite us to your church to present our ministry and recruit more supporters.
- Share our posts on Facebook to spread the word.
Thanks again for all of your support and encouragement this past year. We hope that you are blessed in 2017!
