camp, but it also has allowed us to transport pipes, which will bring
water to the camp. We are still waiting on the Polish Embassy to install a pump in another camp, but the pipe work is ready.
We have been gathering information and documentation in hopes to have
Habitat for Humanity partner with us in getting land and homes for these
families.
Several of the women in the camp have joined a sewing project called
Thread of Hope, which teaches them sewing skills and employs them to
make skirts. This is a wonderful way for them to be able to provide for
their children. We are in conversation about partnering to start an
adjunct business with them.
In regards to the biomass charcoal project, we have collected sawdust and progress is being made toward making a working press.
The local church has been collecting funds to build a community center
in the camps that would serve the purposes we also envisioned. They have
purchased land, built a fence around it, and have finished the toilets.
Throughout this whole process, we have been intentionally building relationships with the men, women and children in the camp. We can’t wait to begin diving into more discipleship soon!
Some days it seems things are moving slowly, or “pole pole” as they say
here. On those days it is good to take a look at the bigger picture and
see the ways in which God is moving and things are progressing. We are
depending on God to keep providing and would appreciate your continued
prayers in each of these areas!
