Shy Eugina likes the cabbage from her garden!

Eugina
Dear Heather,

Because gardens are a seasonal endeavor, we sometimes use loans against funds from future donations to fund a lot of gardens during planting time.

This garden was planted a couple of months ago, and you can see how much success they’ve had with their cabbage crop since then!

Your donation generously resupplied our garden funds so that we can start even more gardens in the future.  Eugina was a bit shy when asked for a photo.

Dear Suberr,

This is Madalena, a community health worker living in Karama, Rwanda. Since she is a community health worker, the Humanity for Children team dug a garden in her field during the first week of November.

She will use this garden as a demonstration to show others in her community what they can do with a small plot of land and the right training!

Thanks very much Suberr for your generous support of Madalena and permaculture gardening!

Your support makes medical care in rural Kenya possible!

Bishop Fightforthechildren 2006 trip 334
Dear Marilyn, Olga, Roland and Lindy, Terry, Jeffrey, Tawana, Mary, Sarah, Belinda, Young, Anil, David, Kandace, Ted and Pam, Molly, Lee, Brian and Robin, Karen, Amit, and Pamela,

Medications and supplies are relatively inexpensive in the developing world, however staffing costs significantly more. Without somebody qualified to utilize the medications and supplies they are worthless.

A clinical officer like Norman Ogado working for Humanity for Children in Dunga, Kenya is essential for ensuring patients get quality medical care at our sites. He can see 50-75 children and mothers per day.

The generosity of Olga (5 days!), Kandace (4 days!), Sarah (2 days!), Young (2 days!), Ted & Pam (2 days!), Marilyn, Roland & Lindy, Terry, Jeggrey, Tawana, Mary, Belinda, Anil, David, Molly, Lee, Brian & Robin, Karen, Amit and Pamela make his employment possible and allows these people to get health care in their own village area instead of walking 10-15 km to the next closest center or, in most cases, going without any care at all.

In these pictures you can see Norman with a young patient, as well as a crowd waiting to see him!
