Close to a year ago, Kilembe mines area was hit by devastating floods that wahsed away homes, took dear lives, destroyed property, seperated families and generally affected peoples lives forever. Like i have said before, it is amazing how time flies and one thing i have noticed is that human nature moves on even after the worst of disasters although it is hard to forget.
As i type, Kilembe mines is preparing for a Chinese company take over and there is some renewed hope that life might come back to normal in this part of the country. The roads and some of the broken bridges have been repaired by the Government although some houses will never stand again.
The hospital is operational although the staff were recently on strike because they had not been paid in months and yet the hospital quarters were the most affected areas. Part of your donations were meant to aid the hospital and am sure any contribution can still make a difference. Much as it is true that the infrastructure is being replaced, the common man and woman, particularly the elderly, women, PWDs, vulnerable and disadvantaged children still need our help. Some need to revive their $50 businesses like selling vegetables, students need scholarstic materials etc
I am very positive we can make a difference with your support. I request that you continue to help us make that difference. We appreciate your support always.
