New Vehicle for Mwandi

By Leonie Dixon-Thompson

Mwandi Orphans and Vulnerable Projects Support Team are blessed to receive very generous donations towards the running of projects to improve children’s lives in Mwandi Village, Zambia.

The original vehicle in Mwandi had gone past its use-by date, and it became obvious that the existing 4WD needed to be replaced at the OVC project, as it was felt money was being wasted on continuous repairs. After much negotiation and endless prayers a new Toyota 4WD was purchased.

The vehicle was donated by the Mwandi OVC Project Support Team, Australia. So far just over $7,000 has also been raised to recover the $50,000 cost of the new vehicle.

Mwandi OVC Project has once again been the recipient of $9,235, being $2,235 for education sponsorship; $2,000 for urgent medical assistance, to be accompanied by a nurse or carer to Beit Cure Hospital for free surgery; costing for accommodation; $3,000 towards nutrition, also the vegetable garden, nursery and staff supplying fresh vegetables to the feeding project; and $2,000 to supply warm blankets for the most vulnerable.

Unity Hill, Port Lincoln Unity Op Shop has again generously donated funds to local charities and provided funds for the building of two houses in Cambodia through two local congregations who have worked in Cambodia.

The on-going success of the Unity Op Shop, staffed by a group of enthusiastic volunteers has allowed the committee to very generously donate large amounts of money to various worthy groups.
