This little one is holding her 'before' shoes, and wearing her new ones.....

They are showing you their appreciation and happiness, for the school uniforms and books....

Tupende Wazee (to love seniors)

This was a WOW day!!!

The seniors of Bukavu are marginalized and suffering. They remain in their rooms, dependant on someone caring to feed them or even care.

*Mapendo, received a vision from God to start a program for these people. Saturday was the first meeting! Not just the first meeting of this group, the first meeting of any program focused on seniors, in Bukavu......ever!

The response was very moving! "How did you get such an idea?"  "We sit at home with no food, and often have no one to come"
One lady cried with joy! They were so happy......you cannot imagine how their hearts were encouraged and how thrilled they were to feel they had somewhere to go where they counted!

Words fail me to describe how big this was!

*Mapendo and Raha are part of our team in Africa. We depend on their wise counsel, and we are so honoured to work alongside them!

These are the orphans cared for by Bethsaida Church.
A caring donor has paid for their school fees!

However, they still could not enter the schools because they have no uniforms or supplies.

With school opening in just a few days, the need was urgent.
Thanks to TBA's compassionate donors, we were able to meet that need!

Thanks to you!
