We have a team departing for Zambia on November 4th, and I am looking for to so many things.
During this past month's fundraising furor, we have raised funds for travel expenses, construction at the Orphanage site, and child sponsorships. To include all the commitments not yet collected, we have raised nearly $17,000 for construction costs at the Orphanage and child sponsorships.
For this round of funding, we only have about 1,200 bricks to go. It has been encouraging to see so many people come together for these kids.
We will be funding construction of another home in November and December, $10,500, furniture for the home at $3,500, and will be seeking sponsors for the remaining children.
As of 10/29/08, we still have 8 of our 19 children that are not sponsored. We currently are spending approximately $85 per month to care for each child, and our sponsorships are either subsidized by GO! from our general fund, or in some cases the child is sponsored twice. Our sponsorships are $50 per child, per month, with a one year committment.
For more information on supporting our children please see: http://www.globalorphanrelief.org/ChildrenofSilembe.html
Blessings!

SA will have 2,5m orphans by 2010
October 24 2007 at 08:40AM
By Mercury reporter
Little children are not supposed to die before grownups, but a staggering number in South Africa do, because they are left without proper care by a society overwhelmed by the rising need for social welfare.
In many state-funded child welfare centres, social workers - who are among the worst paid professionals in the country - are battling with 300-500 cases each, says Antje Hockley who runs the Thokomala Orphan Care Organisation, founded by Unilever.
Hockley, speaking at a fund-raising function organised by Unilever this week, said an estimated 25 000 new social welfare cases were presented to social workers countrywide every month, and children's homes were battling to cope.

Orphans need homes - state appeals

The number of orphaned children in South Africa is estimated at 1,5-million, according to Social Development Minister Zola Skweyiya.
Although the country had done "incredibly well" to provide a safety net for the poor, which included giving a child support grant to 8,3-million children, more needed to be done, Skweyiya said on Monday.

Journalists schooled on child rights protection
Last Updated: Saturday, 25 October 2008, 8:10 GMT
The Department of Social Welfare (DSW) in collaboration with UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) on Friday organised a workshop to sensitise journalists on the importance of ethical reporting on child rights protection issues.
According to Mr Iddris Abdallah, a UNICEF consultant on child protection with the DSW, recent media reporting on child abuses and issues relating to their health, had not been treated ethically, as most of them had either exposed these vulnerable ones to further stigmatisation or public ridicule.

Creating possibilities
A Minnesota entrepreneur uses his economic success to change lives half a world away by offering high-quality education to dirt-poor Tanzanian students.

ARUSHA, TANZANIA - Francisca is beaming. She has just solved a troubling geometry question, with a bit of guidance in Swahili and English from her teacher at Peace House Secondary School. The 16-year-old breaks into a smile so big, both rows of her teeth show.
Two months earlier, Francisca Anania Kimario's future held little of this brightness. It most certainly didn't include going to school.
Abandoned at birth by her father, Francisca lost her mother to AIDS when she was 2. As so often happens to Africa's orphans, Francisca was passed around to relatives who barely had enough money to feed their own children, much less someone else's. Francisca suffered beatings and threats, and made it through primary school only after nuns at a nearby Catholic church offered to pay for it.

GO! Silembe Update | House of Faith Orphanage
The follow are some addtional pictures that we received earlier this month from Zambia:
The kitchen entrance slab is on a slight slant for drainage. Sand on the fresh slab to hold water for curing makes it look very messy.
Inside the pantries also looks messy for the same reasons.
The fire didn’t show up in the picture, but they are cooking here everyday.
One room has mosquito nets up. Linda will be taking measurements and pictures to carpenters in Choma and Kalomo in an effort to more quickly get beds.
This hole is well over a meter deep. We have water where we don’t want it at 2 feet down, while 4 holes in the garden haven’t yielded an adequate supply. Once we find the right place water should be plentiful for the garden.
------------
We continue our development at House of Faith Orphanage with the contruction of the 3rd & 4th homes, and are currently hosting 19 children. We also have 12 children on a waiting list to join us.
Illegitimate Orphans in Gaza on the Rise
By Ola al-Madhoun - Gaza
A human rights organization in Gaza released a report showing a rise in the number of children abandoned in Gaza and warned that the problem of abandoned and illegitimate children holds grave consequences for Palestinian society.
According to statistics issued by the Gaza-based al-Dameer Association for Human Rights, 165 cases of illegitimate children have been reported since 1993, eight of them are in 2008 alone. Rising poverty and unemployment along the social and psychological pressure of living under occupation – and since January an Israeli blockade.

Fighting in Kashmir gives rise to orphanages
By Mian Ridge Correspondent of The Christian Science Monitor
from the October 22, 2008 edition
Between 60,000 and 100,000 children in this state of 5.5 million people are thought to be orphans – including fatherless children with mothers too poor to care for them.
Srinagar, India - Gazi Abdullah, a gentle, articulate 11-year-old considers himself fortunate. He describes a life filled with friends, games of cricket, and top scores in math.
But it hasn't always been so. Without a trace of self-pity, he tells how his father was killed in crossfire between separatist militants and the Army when he was two years old.

GO! Update | Zambia, Africa
I had received this update earlier this month from our team in Zambia, and thought you might enjoy.
Teaching from the small vestibule in Chingola. 
In addition to the school, Global Orphan Relief has agreed to partner with Auntie Jennifer to start an Orphanage in the community. Auntie Jennifer is very excited about our partnership, and the opportunity to expand the care for Orphans in Chingola.
The walls are up and plaster begins on the 3rd home at HOFO. The walls may take 2 weeks for completion. I have a smaller work force until such time funds flow more freely.
Our Servant's Heart Missions Team leaves for Zambia on 4 November 2008, and among other planned activities, this group is funding the 3rd home at House of Faith Orphanage(HOFO) in Silembe, Zambia.
This school for Orphans is located in Chingola, Zambia, and was started by Auntie Jennifer. To begin this work she started by washing sand for the local mines to gain the necessary funding to rent the building for the school.

All of the furniture for the Orphanage is made in Zambia, and often times even right there in Silembe. This cabinet was supposed to be ready before the Jones went to the States. Finally, we have it as Elizabeth, our house mother for the 1st home, stands just behind the front door.
The walls are up and plaster begins on the 3rd home at HOFO. The walls may take 2 weeks for completion. I have a smaller work force until such time funds flow more freely.
Last year we experienced what they claimed to be '100 year rains' and water was everywhere -everyday. The ground water became so prevalent that the pressure crushed our septic tank. We are using additional support to include cement to help the brick stay in place. Rains will begin again in late November - early December time frame.
Keep the Children of Silembe in your prayers as we grow our presence in Zambia.
Peace,

Afghanistan: Back to Where We Started
October 15, 2008 From theTrumpet.com
After a seven-year war, the country is returning to Taliban rule.
For 15 years, Ahmed Bachar has looked after orphans. Two hundred of them, aged 5 to 16. He’s made sure they had a bed each night, food in their bellies, and a way to get to school.
When Allied forces pushed the Taliban from power in Bachar’s native Afghanistan in 2001, money from international aid agencies started to flow to him. With it, Bachar was able to get a building, books, clothes and even toys for the children.

The Minister for Health and Social Welfare, Prof David Mwakyusa, has stressed the need to expand Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission of HIV (PMTCT) services, to reduce the number of children living with HIV/Aids.
Closing the Regional Inter-Agency Task Team (RIATT) on Children and AIDS conference in Dar es Salaam on Thursday, Prof Mwakyusa said the move would also cut down the number of orphans in the country. “By ensuring family care and putting HIV-positive mothers and fathers on treatment, we can reduce the number of orphans,” the minister said.

Works of faith: Liberty United Methodist goes on mission to Guatemala
By NORMA KING
Special to The Star
When Donna Dunn describes the people of Guatemala as “so stinking happy,” it’s with admiration and a little envy.
“I would be too if I lived there,” she said.
Dunn spent a week this summer in Lemoa, Guatemala, at an orphanage. It was her fourth trip.
Eighteen youths and four adults from Liberty United Methodist Church traveled with Dunn on a church mission. They left their cell phones, TVs and MP3 players at home — and didn’t really miss them.

Children affected by HIV/AIDS need community care
2008-10-07 11:56:33
By Peter Tindwa
It is very sad and disturbing to note from many regional and global reports that Africa, especially Sub-Saharan Africa, including Tanzania is leading in the infections of HIV/AIDS. Staff writer Peter Tindwa writing for the Association of Journalists Against AIDS in Tanzania (AJAAT) together with the United Nations Children`s Fund (UNICEF) sheds light on importance of interventions to support children affected by HIV/AIDS:
Available statistics from the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare through the National AIDS Control Programme (NACP) show that Tanzania has at least 930,000 most vulnerable children, most of whom are affected by AIDS and living in households which are below the Tanzanian poverty line.

--------------------------
At GO!'s House of Faith Orphanage (HOFO) we currently have 3 children of 19 children who are HIV/AIDs positive. These children require additional care, but can not be turned away based on this condition. We can do more, but it is going to take an effort community by community, project by project. Will you help us?

GO! Cornerstones | "Righteousness & Love"
Of Faith, Hope, & Love
October 2, 2008
by Scott A. Nordstrom
Do you ever read something and just wonder if there is any hidden message? Maybe in your reading lies a truth that surpasses all understanding? I recently read a passage that was such a message and just maybe a gateway to something much more important for you and me.
Proverbs 21:21 -He who pursues righteousness and love finds life, prosperity and honor. (NIV)
For me this holds great promise and there are so many things that arise out of this passage. I think that the encouraging word for me is the notion of the word pursues. The word here may not imply accomplishment, but merely the act of continued effort to capture or overtake. You might say that we are engaged in the continued effort to become righteous and or a place or state of love. I am encouraged by the proposition to pursue with no predetermined expectations, but only to find life, prosperity and honor in the process.
The next item in the passage that demands my consideration is the word righteousness and whether this concept is somehow connected to love. My dictionary indicates that righteousness is “the quality or state of being righteous”. Righteousness is somehow moral conduct. You might say the process of being right (certainly this is something I should know about). This begs the question of the deeper meaning of righteous. From my research righteous can be describes as morally justified, or upright without guilt or sin. You might transcend a religious definition and describe righteous as with virtue or morality. So righteousness becomes the state or conduct of being moral, upright, and without guilt. Hmmmm….. I won’t speak for you, but for me this is a real stretch. I know that the past does not equal the future, but even for me today -to consider righteousness is difficult, but according to the passage I am merely to pursue.
The word love in this passage is more closely associated with an action than a feeling. The original Hebrew uses the word mercy rather than the word love. The meaning in this passage points toward God and is an act of kindness –a good deed. For me, and this is not stretch, if you show this kindness to your fellow man, or you do something good for them, this act is ultimately toward God. And again in this passage, we refer you back to the word pursue.
Look at the reward here! As we pursue to become right or correct and in this process we show love or do good deeds to others, we will realize life, prosperity and honor.
If in your spiritual walk, if all you were able to gain was life, prosperity, and honor -what more would you need? Today is the day to start living by beginning the pursuit!
Peace, and be Blessed!

An experiment in orphan care in Russia
International Herald Tribune
By Michael Schwirtz
Published: October 1, 2008
KALUGA REGION, Russia: Standing in a row, sweating in the bright sun, a group of boys hammer into the outer wall of a partially built log cabin. Nearby, two others paint a picnic table, while another pack of children scurry by dressed in green tunics, wooden swords drawn for a play battle.
Work and play often commingle in Kitezh, an experimental orphan community about 300 kilometers, or 190 miles, southwest of Moscow that combines features of an orphanage with those of foster care. At first glance it can seem more akin to a summer camp than a sanctuary for abused and neglected children.
