Playground in Use

Greeting Paris

Here are the Tongan ladies greeting their Cyprus visitor in Simwaba. 

Meet Paris from Cyprus! Part 1

The children arrived in Simwaba again today to meet with a young man from Cyprus.  The high school boy named Paris raised funds to purchase clothes, shoes, footballs, and mealie meal for the children.  He met with them today and took pictures.  He will be taking these photos back with him to Cyprus to encourage more donors. 

It is always heart-warming to see young people making a difference in the world!!  This young man put a lot of smiles on the faces of the children.  Thank you, Paris!

By the way, the other man with the fooball jersey is Paris' uncle Nikki.  He was there to help Paris fulfill his mission.  They will be in Zambia until the 6th of September and then head back to Cyprus.  Have a safe trip!!  Thank you for thinking of our children!!

Excitement in Simwaba

Visitors are always welcomed and it turns into quite an event.  Here, all of the children were clamoring to see the UNICEF workers.  If you are planning a visit to see the children, this is what you can expect.  A terrific welcoming committee!!

Welcoming UNICEF

Car Situation

Here is the video of the car after it had problems.  Nicole is searching for an organization that could help us with the purchase of a 4x4.  We are in desperate need of one for use in the field so that they can get to the children more often and with more reliability.  If you have any ideas on organizations we can contact, send an e-mail to macandmic@gmail.com  CHILDHOPE-ZAMBIA is a registered NGO in Zambia, so there are tax benefits for Zambia companies.  Shortly, we will have the 501c3 status in the US, and will be able to provide tax benefits to US donors as well. 

Several of you requested translation on these videos, so here is what Chim is saying:

"Here we are again in Simwaba. We are stuck with the vehicle, so we are trying to appeal to someone who can help us buy a vehicle for operations. It has been very difficult for us to operate due to lack of a vehicle. So, we still appeal to any support that we have out there to help us purchase a 4 x 4. To help us reach more children on time and do our program as it is supposed to be. We are very grateful and appreciate anyone who can help us to purchase a vehicle. Right now we are trying to go down and check on what is going on with the vehicle- under the engine to see what the car has.


We really need someone who can come and help us purchase a 4x4, so that we can get to the field on time and try to help the children on time. Thank you so much."

Feeding Program~ Simwaba

The same amazing couple in the UK, also, provided food for the children in Simwaba!!  I know you will recognize some of these cuties!  You can match the unsponsored children with their sponsorship photos by looking in the preschool girl and preschool boy sponsorship pages and looking at the children who live in Simwaba.  I see sponsored Natasha, and unsponsored Morris, Rotrida, Milimo, Macbirth and Liness (black hat).  Who do you recognize?
