Mwiinga Family Business

Mutinta Mwiinga #1197, age 3 is in need of a sponsor.

Here is the Mwiinga family that I spoke of in the last post.  We now know that Mrs. Mwiinga's daughter Mutinta attends Dindi CHILDHOPE supported ECCDE center.  Now, we know that this village that they live in- that we could not find any other sponsored children in- is close to Dindi.  There are plenty of families and women in our program in Dindi.  If anyone sponsors a child in Dindi and would like to contribute to starting up a sewing cooperative for the women, let me know.  We would need the names of the families (maybe 5 to 6 women).  Then, the Zambia team could speak with those women and determine if they are good candidates for the business (i.e. already know how to sew). 

If several women are involved, we could help several families.  Plus, the start up cost would be less when divided among 5 or 6 sponsors- whose sponsored children/women are participating.   Mrs. Mwiinga would still be the one in charge of the supplies, but the earnings would be split among the group according to the work.  It would be great if we could purchase the uniforms from them!

Such a deserving family!!  You can see that through all of Mrs. Mwiinga's obstacles, she remains happy hearted.  I am not sure I would be talking and laughing with a smile in her situation.  She speaks of Jordan not having food, but I know she would go without food to provide for him... So, if he has no food, there is just no telling how empty her stomach is!!  And, all she wants is a way to help herself!  Here in the states, she would get a monthly check for her disability- not in Zambia!  Though she is clearly disabled, if her family needs food- she is the one that must figure out how to provide that- disability or no disability!

A Seamstress in Need of a Start

Here is Jordan' mother.  She says: "The girl in black dress is Jordan’s sister by the name of Mutinta Mwiinga who is 3 years old. While the other boy is Nchimunya Moonga who is the child to the sister in law. She is appealing for help. She says ‘look at the house in which I sleep’. She says Jordan has no food and where he sleeps there is nothing but the dirt floor. The mother says Jordan is at Simwaba basic school while the sister to Jordan is at Dindi ECCDE center."
This sweet lady mentions not having food to feed her children at the beginning of the video.  If you look at Jordan's face, you will see him trying to hold back tears.  The interesting thing is that she is NOT requesting a hand out.  What she would like is a chance to be able to help her family with her own hands.  She is disabled, but she can sew.  Sewing would provide her family with the income to purchase food and other necessities. 
If you would like to help Mrs. Mwiinga provide for her family, please contact me at macandmic@gmail.com

Mwiinga Family

Translation by Chim:
The lady in the video told me that she was Dynes Mwiinga asked her what relationship she had with the child in video .She told me that the child in the video was her grandchild whose name was Barvin Mwiinga. She told me that the child was attending CHILDHOPE supported ECCDE centre in Makangala. She told me that she was looking for someone to help this boy because there is no one to do so. The lady is appealing for someone to support the education of this child through the purchase of books, pencils, bag, uniform etc. The lady told me that the child was suffering from stomach pains, sores in the head and continuous headache. She is appealing for someone to assist her with the treatment of the child.

Job Mwiinga family

Translation by Chim:
The lady in the video is Bubala Chiputa. Two of the children in the video are her neighbors while one is hers. The lady is also representing the mother to the two children. This is because the mother to the children is sick. I asked the lady to introduce the children to me. She told me that the child wearing a green dress is Trizzah Salami the daughter to the neighbor. She attends the CHILDHOPE supported ECCDE in Chalimbana. She told me that the child wearing a blue skirt and a green blouse is her daughter by the name of Sheri Chiputa.
Her child also attends the CHILDHOPE supported ECCDE in Chalimbana. The other girl wearing a red dress is her neighbor whose name is Chabota Mwiinga who attends the CHILDHOPE supported ECCDE in Chalimbana. I asked the lady what health complications the children had. She told me that Sheri had stomach complications while Trizzah had a cough. Asked what help the children required in school. The lady told me that the children needed books, shoes, school bags, uniforms etc.

Happy Bithday August 5th!

Mwiinga Mwiinga #405 above turns 10 years old today. He is in the 4th grade in Naleza.

I know many of you have been missing the nearly daily posts of birthday children. The reason for the lack of them is that Sara was setting those up. She would set up 2 weeks of birthday posts in advance. However, her life right now just got busier than it was before, so she hasn't posted. I am sure she will be back at in shortly. In the meantime, since one of you asked specifically for today's birthday child to be posted- Here he is!!! Also, Roger's newly sponsored Eunice is celebrating a birthday today!

Meet Charity Mwiinga #1039

Chim asked the girl her name and the grade she was doing, she told him she was Charity Mwiinga doing grade 6 at Simwaba basic school. In the video, she told him that she was washing plates. She told me that she gets home from school at 4pm .Asked as to whether she needed people to help her with her education, she told Chim that she prays she will get a sponsor. She says that she works very hard. When she gets home from school; she fetches water and does the cooking for her family. She is appealing for sponsorship in order to purchase uniforms, books and help in paying school fees. If you would like to sponsor Charity for only $9 a month, simply click "sponsor primary child in the upper right hand corner of the blog. Let's give this girl a break! She could sure use it!!

June Distribution 2010-Part 5

Little Dorice, above, is wearing the uniform with the white collar. It is these type uniforms that are currently out of stock. Because the uniforms are out of stock, they will not be available until some time Tuesday. Once the staff is able to pick them up, they will have distribution on Wednesday.

By the way, we have an additional 5 children whose sponsorship is pending, which means that the sponsor will be sending money for them shortly. Since I know that these sponsors are completely reliable and will be sending in the sponsorship fees within the next few days, I have chosen my 8th child-Dorice!! I do not have her bio information yet, but she is in the 1st grade.

We now have a total of 65 children sponsored!! Ya'll rock!!! Thanks for helping these needy children! We are going to change their world!

These are some of the new children in the program. I have not added any to the side link yet, but at least you can see some of them here. aren't they sweet!!!

Also, I have not sent the 2nd care package yet. I received some jackets yesterday, and so I will be posting those later today. You will be able to purchase windbreakers with hoodies for the young children age 7 and under. Then, for the children 8 and up, I have some fleece jackaets without hoodies for them. Zambia is in their cold season now, so these jacket are quite timely. Stay tuned for that post.

In the meantime, if you are interested in sponsoring any of the children above, click on "sponsor primary student" on the left hand side of this blog- all for the low price of $9 a month!!!
