This morning we stopped by the former World Hope Headquarters in Choma. A new organization funded by US donors is teaching people how to farm, grow gardens, raise chickens and pigs, and sew. Alfred had helped to create this new organization.
We went to Kanyama church to drop off gift packets and soccer balls at Alfred's Church. Alfred had arranged for 28 of the numerous orphans to meet us. The vision is to have someone sponsor each of these orphans. Currently there are only 4 being sponsored. The cost is only $333 per year.
We then drove to Luska to attend a program at a school just down the road from Alfred's home. The school has 1600 students with only 9 classrooms! The program was in recognition of the books which have been sent on the containers. There were approximately 700 kids at the program. The program was opened with prayer (public school) The choir sang the national anthem and several hymns. They were amazing! Several of the officials from the four schools that received the books thanked us and showed us where the books were stored.
We then came back to look at the banana trees. Some of the trees have their second growth and the bananas are much larger.
We then went to John and Tracy's for a wonderful meal.
We then returned to Alfred's to pack and discuss the trip.
