This Month’s Focus is the 2007 South African sponsor’s tour consisting of 10 South African supporters visiting Ukraine, Moldova and Romania from the 20th November to the 5th December 2007.
It was the first Northern autumn that most of us had experienced and the temperature fell to well below zero … driving home the cry of so many of the poor and needy, “we can handle the cold and we can handle hunger, but its difficult to handle both at the same time.” During this period we visited 17 sponsored children in their Institutions, 3 sponsored families in their homes, 2 Community Centres, a facility for blind people, the Ghidigich farm run by MWB and the Cernoleuca Children’s Home in the far north of Moldova.
We also had the privilege of visiting MWB’s Sarney Center in Ukraine where we saw the vocational training in action – sewing, cooking and computer classes. The sponsors were taken to the Community Center which houses 25 young ladies in transit from the Orphanages to real life — these are now looking for permanent work. It was encouraging to learn of the development that had taken place in the lives of these girls through the help of the mission.
Overall, we were all extremely impressed with the work of the mission; how the lives of the young and the aged and infirm are being touched by the ministry of MWB., not only are we very effectively providing material help, but also the Spiritual, Emotional and Educational.
