She visited our church today and presented her story. We went to lunch with her afterword and are looking at how we can help.
She is working on a building project to add clinic rooms, operating rooms and hospital rooms along with equipment. They still need about $$$$ for the building and many other needs. In addition to that, they visit local villages and schools, working on malnutrition, HIV, immunizations, malaria, TB and education. They are making a huge difference in the poorest area in Zambia. In addition to money for these various projects, they will be sending a large cargo container from Grand Island in the next couple of months with a variety of medical and educational supplies. I'm sending our set of Encyclopedias among other things, even though it is old. Some teacher friends are planning to send books as well. The national language is English, so they are accepting used books of all kinds for all ages, as some of the poorest schools have no books at all. They can use English, science, math and books to stock the school libraries. Social Studies would not be as useful since it's American.
If you would like to help with this project, contact me via this blog or FB. Donations can be dropped off at my office as well.
I'm putting Zambia on the radar for my mission travels, but for the moment we are planning to go to Haiti again next spring. Nepal took a lot out of us and it's taken awhile to regroup and begin planning. I'm sure Haiti would never have an EARTHQUAKE!!! Ha! NN

Hello a team of medical missionaries. I am so glad to get connected with you through your profile on the blogger and the blog post. I am so glad to view a picture of Zambia missions trip. I am in the Pastoral ministry for last 37yrs in the great city of Mumbai, India. I am also an Interim Executive Director of our mission hospital in the rural part of the Central India. This hospital at the moment is going through tough time due to lack of Medical personal such as surgeons & physicians. We would love to have a team of such expertise to revive our hospital. It has a long standing history of 80 yrs where missionary doctors invested their time, energy and resources and serve the poor people by giving them new life with the love of Christ. I would be so happy to know whether it is possible to you to get such a team of Medical personnel for a period of three to four months to work in the Hospital as well as in the slums of Mumbai, India. I am looking forward to hear from you very soon. My email id is: dhwankhede(at)gmail(dot)com and my name is Diwakar Wankhede. Looking forward to hear from you very soon.
