Exatly, What Am I Doing?

It occurred to me that those of you reading my blog that aren't super close to me, may not realize what Ministry of Hope does, or even much about Malawi. So here it all is:

Malawi:
- Location: south-eastern Africa.
- Population: 12 million
- Currency: kwatcha (k-watch-a). 145 kwatcha = 1 dollar.
- Language: chichewa (chich-ay-wa) and some english

Ministry of Hope:
- A ministry focused on orphans. From feeding centers, to medical help, to crisis nursries... we do it all. We feed people spiritually too :)

Taco. Short for Takondwa. I stayed with this little boy's family in Matapila. He always came in room unexpectedly...so sweet

Kids at the water hole.

I took this picture at one of the feeding centers. They are more than likely orphans, there to get food.

This is Rosaline. She's about 2 months old and has a sweet twin brother named Chisomo.

Play day at the Crisis Nursery. We try to get the infants outside to enjoy the sun whenever we can.

These were just a few of the women waiting for us when we arrived in their village, Chiwangam'be. We bring them medical assistance once a month.

Mphatso is one of the orphans I like spending time with most. He tries to take care of other babies in the nursery by stroking their faces when they are upset. It is so sweet!
