The Container Has Arrived!

As of Friday, December 1, it had arrived and was partly unloaded. A lot of excitement, which our VIM team barely missed. We just got back two weeks ago. It took nearly a month of hard work by the District Superintendent, Rev. Chimbwanda, to get the necessary clearances from the Ministries of Health and Education so that the materials could enter duty free. Now the distributing—hundreds of boxes of books and supplies to 5 primary schools, plus some materials to 4 high schools, and lots of supplies to two hospitals, plus a variety of things to a number of local UM agencies. Look also for much more here about Clare Primary School, near Nyasura, about 30 miles northwest of Old Mutare. It is poor; the barefoot, ragged children are being taught in classrooms converted from stables and a tobacco barn by a group of hard-working dedicated teachers. They caught our hearts and we have already begun help through their Conference Projects Coordinator, Rev. L. Nyarota. If it works out as anticipated, it will become a permanent project in which all of you are invited to participate. More information— morris@taber.net 734-662-9880 2856 Renfrew Ann Arbor, MI 48105.
