We continue to wait on our 'official' papers from the Chief in regards to the land in Silembe. Funds are in place, and the drill rig is ready to go when we give him the word to drill for water. We have sent messengers to the Chief's location and they are to wait until such time they can bring back the official papers for the land.
Keep this site and our project there in your prayers. Anything can happen in Africa.

Hope for the City Orphanage
After visiting Hope for the City Orphanage in January of this year, it was apparent that the home was in dire need of a stove to cook meals for the girls there, and a refrigerator to keep their food.
We were blessed to help the home with the funds necessary for these items, but time was required for additional security for the home before the appliances were installed. In addition, the electrical wiring in the home required some work before installing the appliances.
After coordinating with the fine people of Kitwe Central Assembly of God, please find attached photos for the fridge and stove as they were presented to the orphanage by the Pastor on behalf of WOR.
The girls were very appreciative for our kind donation of these items to the orphanage. Thanks to you all for helping make this happen.
Blessings,

Greek Orthodox Ladies Philoptochos Society Bake Sale
The results of the Easter Bake Sale to benefit the WOR are in!
I am pleased to inform you that through the generosity of the Assumption of the Theotokos Metropolis Cathedral of Denver church community we were able to raise $2,104.15! The best bake sale ever! Isn't this great? We are so happy that we can work with the Greek Orthodox Ladies Philoptochos Society to serve chidren throughout the world.
These funds will go toward our first orphanage in Silimbe, Zambia. These funds will go toward drilling of the well to provide water to the entire orphanage community. We will be drilling this well in the next several weeks, and the proceeds from this bake sale will pay for more than half of the total cost! In Africa, water symbolizes life, and through this fundraiser the Assumption Cathedral here in Denver has provided 'life' for House of Faith Orphanage in Silembe, Zambia.
This group has also been instrumental in assisting our efforts in Mexico over the last several years. Thanks again to the Ladies of Phioptochos here in Denver!
