That's the numbers folks....come here and see for yourself. Life is HARD here. Did i mention child trafficking, widespread corruption, domestic inequality and violence?? What about (what we call) witch craft?

In all this MANY are coming to be of help. To bring love, peace, jobs, hope for this life and the future. It is exciting to not only see but be a very small part. I hope to promote some of these works here on the blog in the next few months, like the orphanage run by Moises and Connie, the chicken farm 'New Horizons, the Bible School my colleagues teach at and i will share with you about my work a little....

Stay tuned adn pray for Moz please!
