    This project has made such an impact on the neighborhood school, that even children who are not going to school are coming. The community is involved and they come to assist us as the number keeps increasing rapidly. The children's health has improved since the feeding project started.

    Since the programme started those children who have not been eating well are having an oppotunity to eat a balanced meal and even those who do not have food at home get the oppotunity to enjoy a meal. There has been an increase in their body weight.

    Most of the children we helped never experienced love and a sense of belonging. They were happy about the food we gave them because some have never had so much food. The students that have attended the AIDS presentation have passed in great number and have made a choice to change their way of living regardless of their living in a remote village and they are following our program!

    Due the school recess the Lord has blessed us with development in our youth ministry as most young people stuck around instead of going away for vacation. We have developed programs for the village children for the festive season that includes the introduction of the HIV intervention program. It is the first time that something like this has unfolded in our village. Praise God!

    We have learned so much from the programs that the Orchard: Africa has been conducting. I believe that through a good relationship and partnership our knowledge will be broadened more and more.
