Program<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The main activities are still the same concerning the program Hope for the Children of Africa: providing food, shelter, education, health care, religion, social reintegration, and family reunification For the Children of Africa!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Agapao Foundation held some lessons of baking, hair dressing and make-up for the girls of CEJAL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Centre Maison Kwetu & Maman Thabitha Orphanage Visit at Katalis Farm with Missionary Jean-Paul Dietrich<\/p>\n\n\n\n We have been visited by the auditor sent by GBGM to evaluate the work that has been done since last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We have participated to the meeting held at the UMC Center in Lubumbashi. The various topics included the status of our Church, the remarks made by the auditor and the line of work to adopt for the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We have received two additional laser thermometers to check every entrance to the orphanage from Wesley UMC \/Nashville USA via Mr. RUKANG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At Florence\u2019s request, we have finally found a foster family. Mrs. Noella with the permission of the Episcopal Office was willing to take Florence into her care. Florence has left Centre Jamaa Letu on July 7th<\/sup>, 2020 and now lives with her new family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We had different set of activities during this last two quarters:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The girls have received some pocket We were visited by different groups and foundation around Christmas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We have faced a few cases this last quarter among children and employees as well:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Kikula Foundation and the Baraka Foundation<\/p>\n\n\n\n We have also received some gifts from many friends and partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We are experiencing a few problems with our power grid which is getting old in addition to the instability of electricity in our neighborhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We received some help from the Burgomaster of Ruashi to partially empty our septic tank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We have started new school year 2020-2021 on October 12th<\/sup>, 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The activities started slowly until mid-November when we enrolled 142 pupils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All school activities in Democratic Republic of Congo were again frozen on December 23rd<\/sup>, until further notice from the authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Professional School<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We thank you our partners from Pacific North West Annual Conference for your continued love and support especially during these difficult times of crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We thank our Missionary Jean-Paul Dietrich for being faithful in his guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To our Church, donors and partners we say: Thank you for your continued support even in these difficult times! May God Bless and keep you through this pandemic.<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks be given to God our Lord for the gift of life, his name be praised, Amen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The activities are still the same, there is no a big change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n During December vacation, boys celebrated Christmas joyfully. They also took pleasure in cleaning the compound, their rooms and also participating to different church activities such as choir worship. They also cook, wash plates etc. during the weekends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This was on Christmas day children ate and they were very happy and satisfied . They enjoyed the celebration of Christmas and New Year<\/p>\n\n\n\n As you can see the kids were rejoicing and present their gratitude from their bottom of their hearts to God the creator who always provide life for them , the gift of life , people who love and support them, good and sound health and they are praying to God to give them a better future and hope . Children are presenting their gratitude for all what you do and still doing for them to have a better future. May God continually bless you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By the grace of God all the kids are well and fit since last year up to now we give God all the glory and we also thank you for your support. May God bless you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Boys who have been sick have benefited of medical care, they have been taken to the United Methodist hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All the kids are well and they are doing better in their studies however due to the pandemic COVID 19 schools were closed last year and they were supposed to restart early January but the minister of education hasn\u2019t yet say anything concerning the reopening of schools. So the kids are just staying at home not learning they don\u2019t have private tutors and access to internet to access online classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When the recent auditor came he visited the orphanage and said all orphanages need to have an accenting and a supervisor. Now the problem we are running into is how pay they salaries, because the funds we are receiving per semester will not permit to pay salaries for the two worker and also the foods price are becoming very high due to Covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Apart from our routine works we are participating in the church meetings at district level (Jerusalem district), we also look for support and we received many people who brought different gifts, support for the boys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Together with kids we are very grateful, thankful from the bottom of our hearts we thank you for all what you do and continually do for us. May the almighty God continually protect and bless you.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Done in Democratic Republic of Congo the 20th January 2021<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Paul Kafweta Naweji Mark donation to Jamaa Letu Orphanages <\/em>& note if it\u2019s for a Child & Youth Sponsorship, Education Scholarship<\/em>, or general Jamaa Letu support<\/em>.
