Progress in action

Yesterday we spent the day in Sitsatsaweni our first GO TEAM Project in this BFC/SNU Partnership. How excited the people are as they see work being done on the original well that has not produced water for 7 years. The water is there but the windmill had be damaged and never fixed. Mostly due to the fact that they have no money in that community and then again who is responsible to fix it. No one wants to take the 'bull by the horns' so to speak and take charge.

We watched as a group of high school young men and their Principalmoved a big holding tank on to the platform where water will be stored. Jimmy and his crew from Agri Pumps where there working on the well. What amazes us is that Jimmy has just trusted us that the money for this system is on the way. He is doing all he can to help us with this project, to see that this community gets the water ASAP.

We also met the new Deputy of the Primary school. She has only been there 2 weeks and seems very impressed with the work that is being done in the community.

Then we talked to Patricia who is the Senior Teacher at the Primary school. This is the one we had worked with before. She could hardly contain her self with excitement. We talked about the schools needing to plant veggie in a garden plot to use for the school and to send the extra home with the children that have no parents living. That is a great percentage of the school. Parents gone due to HIV/AIDS. The High School was already plowing up a plot to plant. We took them a 50 Kg bag of Mealie and some Brown sugar and you think we gave them a million dollars

We learned that there are 4 or 5 new men are now coming to the Church and a new family came the last 2 weeks. PRAISE THE LORD. See what some people willing to give of their time and money to work with a community can do. THANK YOU BFC/SNU 1st GO TEAM and all the teams to follow. Thank you to those who are helping support us and for those whom God is talking to about giving of their time and money to help the dear people of Swaziland.

PRASIE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW!
