THE LAND OF HOPE

The LORD pressed a vision on my heart yesterday as i was praying at land of hope, God pressed a burden unto me to start a nursery school with temporary wood structures as we pray and patiently wait upon the LORD for provision of building permanent school structures. So we are going to have 3 classrooms done for a start and have a pit-latrine dug and built then we can start off next term which will start in 3 month from now. We have some big tree trunks on the land and we are going to saw/cut and get the boards we need to do the three classrooms. then we will only need to buy Roofing nails, Roofing iron sheet, Painting , wood preservatives and labour for the carpenter man who will do the construction.

Yesterday i was moving around the village making field work together with the local authority and found out a number of 2000kids in the area do not have a nursery & primary school, half of this number of kids do not go to school due to lack of a school around, the rest of the children who are attending school walk at least 14miles to find a nearest school. So all this families were pleading unto our organization to start off soon and they said it would be an answered prayer unto them which they have pleaded to God for many years. the community has really embrace our vision and praying for us to start as soon as possible.

I also found out that some of the kids used to go to a primary school which is on another village where they have to cross a swamp/small river, but whenever it comes to the rain season this 3-7 years old would almost drawn along this small river,due that in such rain season there is much water falling and could even possibly drawn an old person. so they have now stopped this kids going to school for such a threat.

The day of the African child - June 16 celebration

THE eyes tell the story, a story of devastating poverty, rampant disease
and inadequate education. Yet, despite these problems, the eyes of the
... children of Africa, like the eyes of all children, beam with innocence
and hope for a better tomorrow.While the problems facing African
children may seem insurmountable,
continuous support for greater attention to their needs could improve
their condition.
