THE SKY IS THE LIMIT

This has been the exciting, challenging and most successful
year of Chishawasha Children’s Home, we have the school , the clinic and two more residents are yet to be completed before the end of the year.

This is so because of you people, who have stood shoulder to shoulder acting with courage in making sure things are moving this side of the world. You may not realize it, the things you do, may look simple in your eyes. they are far beyond our expectations, it is not that we do not yearn for more, but this is to let you know how much we appreciate what you are doing for zambian children.

I am so delighted, to let you know , that these children feel they are among the most privileged in the world. Because, the time these children were coming to us, some of them that I witnessed, I could see young lives scared by poverty, racked by diseases, contorted by discrimination, futures cut short and potential unrealized because of lack of education.

Now that they have a beautiful school and a home, I could see the excitement, the joy and the eagerness, to learn, as they walk to their beautiful school every morning. Thanks to you people out there who has taken this privilege and putting yourselves at service of these children . As you join our lifelong struggle for service with UNICEF’s mission to protect the children’s rights, to help meet their basic needs and to expand their opportunities to reach their full potential. And I’m sure with these facilities only the sky will be limit.

I write these words that my heart would have me shout. I am amazed at your generosity not only the generosity of money, but of spirit and I feel words are not enough, to express my gratitude, so all I can say is Thank You to all of you, who supported Sam Weeks, when he was here with us. He is a wonderful man, we will always miss his great sense of humor which lifted our heavy burdens. He was a friend, a teacher and a father, to the children. He was a great leader to the members of stuff, his servant heart left us challeged. Time was very unfair with us, we wished he should have stayed much longer. May God richly bless him and everyone who contributed to his coming and stay here

Thursday the 30th of November was the closing day for the school, the children had a special meal and their guardians came to collect the school reports. Mrs. Mwanza the headteacher said, the guardians were saying they are very happy with the progress and change of the children. These are the children coming from the community that surrounds us to our school.

Therefore, I call on those whom we have called on before to continue in this partnership that is committed to this change and those whom we have never called upon to join this movement for the children . I also challenge all those who currently enjoy the riches of the world to take their knowledge and power, their technologies and resources, and , most of all, their imagination and creativity, to help make the world better for children.
