Roofing in Chips

In January 2010 Twila's brother Chalwe paid a visit to our project in Chipulukusu Compound with his camera, to see what A Home for Charity has been doing. Here is his report.

"Am so touched by what you are doing. As I took pictures of [the Chips families] I could see hope in their eyes; it was brightened by the aspect that somebody somewhere in this world cares… As I moved from one household to another, in conditions I think are not fit for human habitation, I was upset how my government has allowed this to happen. Their children now go to school, a blind man, one of the women's husbands, blessed you because he has shoes which you sent him, and one baby had clothes on when she had nothing.

They received me with happiness though most had nothing, but their smiles were pure and as I said earlier, they were glowing with hope; even Victor, my friend, noticed that. Some still told me their problems like outstanding school fees, and I saw for myself how their kids are brainy! I was a bit embarrassed, most of them even had more marks than I had during my 7th and 9th grade finals by far; one of them had 790 when the cut-off point was 623 for boys nationwide."
