Hi everyone,
Emily has asked us to publish a short message from her. She is a truly remarkable lady who has been so generous and kind, not just to the children, but to us during our stay. We miss Ket Wangi already and hope all is well there.
This is a message for al of you as without you none of our work would have been possible. Enjoy…
Ket Wangi is over the moon.
Hosannah Hosannah! Dreams come true. Today Ketwangi is shining, the donors arrived and as per their words (actions speak louder than words) these are the shining stars of Europe. I hope you want to know who they are. Ben, Toby, Nick, Paul, Christian, Doret and David. Guess; why is it Europe? Ketwangi is no longer relying on kerosene lamps, the solar panels have been installed and today we have power which means the children are now studying in the evening with lights on.
The impossible have been made possible to date; no longer walking to get medicine from nearby clinic every week. Ket Wangi has a fridge for medicine and now we will be attending routine check ups at the provincial hospital once every month.
The shining star is on! Ket Wangi Mini farm is in progress. The chicken pen is almost done; and soon you will hear the chicks singing. Those in the expedition 2011 hall of fame rejoice, very soon the chicks will be named after you. I wish you are here to see how busy the donors are. Nobody is relaxing, children are transported to the hosptial and back home. Repairs are done to the home and Jane, the girl with the burns, is dressed on a daily basis. The children are happy and playing with them; what a lovely month at Ket Wangi! Ket Wangi is still flying over the moon, yesterday the donors organised a big party for both the children and staff. I wish you were here to join us at the dinner party; what is amazing is that the donors used our open kitchen to prepare spaghetti; congratulate then for going through the smoking fire wood.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is fulfilled in these celebrities! The money which they had collected was spent on setting the hospital bills for Jane and Ivon’s treatment, it was a shock to them but they saw the need and thought very fast and came to a resolution. Thank you so much for donating to Ket Wangi orphanage.
Best wishes from the children, staff and community.
Emily.
