Back To Africa!
Joanne and I will be returning to Africa this Wednesday. We can't wait to
see our friends and partners in Kenya and Tanzania. And.we look forward to
bringing your best wishes to all including our 100 scholarship students.
Please keep us in your prayers. We will send you a note or two over the
next month keeping you abreast of the many projects underway.
Usambara Girls School
In our August newsletter we showed you the finished three-block classroom
that Joining Hearts and Hands constructed at Usambara Girls School in
Korogwe, Tanzania. We look forward to cutting the ribbon to open the school
and making sure that it is ready for the 124 girls moving up to Form II in
January.

St. Patrick's Women's Group Successfully Raising Poultry
The Legion of Mary Women's Group at St. Patrick's Church in Lufumbo began
raising chickens as part of their micro-business initiated by Joining Hearts
and Hands. They have been trained in business methods and in the science of
raising chickens. Their fist 250 chickens are nearly market-ready!!
Chicken Business is
Booming!
Memorial to Angela O'Laskey
Angela, a beautiful girl from Greece Arcadia High School, dreamed of serving
sick children with us in Kenya before she died of cancer in October of 2005.
Fundraisers were held in her honor to aid our work in Africa. In Angela's
memory, we will be upgrading the health clinic and providing needed medical
supplies to St. Claire's Orphanage in Kisumu, Kenya. The sick children at
St. Claire's will be very grateful to those remembering Angela. Angela
lives in Kenya by extending the lives of these innocent children.
This photo of Angela will be proudly displayed at St.
Claire's Orphanage
Thank You!!!
Without your gifts of kindness, none of these projects would be possible.
Thank you for your continued support.
May God bring you blessings and peace!
With sincere gratitude,
Bill and Joanne Cala
