Vinga School Project

I commenced this project last year as many of the parents in this impoverished area are so poor they are unable to equip their children with essential items to get them into school. Following the Vinga Church Service today we distributed 47 school bags to the Sunday School children who are of school age. They don't begin school here until they are 6. I have been stretching the Charity's funds by doing bulk buying deals with market stall traders. The filled pencil cases (except the fountain pens which are cheaper here), underwear and socks were all sent over from Wales.

We also distributed a large supply of aid to ensure that everyone has sufficient clothing to begin the term on 15th September. On her return next week Pastor Jackie will arrange for a market trader shoe supplier to visit the Church. Bulk buying will again ensure costs are kept to a minimum. In addition to this the children require books for each subject which they can only purchase via the school.

Wayne and I are blessed with a church family both in Wales and Romania and we have enjoyed our fellowship time here. God has equipped us with all the Words that he has wanted us to share at Pastor Jackie's Churches.
