Playroom Aug08

The playroom survived the wintermonths in Macha. Often the children had to play outside because of the cold weather. During this season there are a lot of children being admitted with burns. Malnutrition is another major disease. Esther tries to aware the parents and guardians on safety measurements at home. Contineous 'education' if given on nutrition (together with the nutritionist), hygiene and personal care.

Welcome Home to Macha

Early this week the MICS Marching Band along with all the workers of the UBUNTU campus met at ABFA the "All Blessings From Above" Airstrip in Macha for a huge celebration to welcome the "Family van Stam" back to Macha after a 2 month leave in Holland. The family arrived safely with the great Flying Mission Pilots, Dave and Guillermo. They managed to bring them in for a safe and smooth landing. The band greeted the family with music, cheers. streamers, and dancing. We are thankful for the time they had away and feel blessed they are back in Macha with us. Love and Blessing to all, Gil/ Skip and Ronda

Opening PlayRoom

On Monday January 14th 2008 the playroom at Macha Hospital was officially openend. Ms Esther Mukupa is the playroom assistant and doing a great job at that as well as being the master of ceremony during the opening. Speeches from Mr. Mhango (Manager of Clinical Care) and Mrs. Jinaina (nurse in charge of pediatric ward) were well received. Gratitude was expressed to Jolanda and Esther (former short term nurses at Macha) who took up the idea of having a playroom and made it come to pass by making funds available. Also the work well done by the builders, the cooperation with nursing staff and hospital management was commented on. Mwaka, Hope and Merel took care of the entertainment and after the ribbon was cut the playroom was opened for the first targetgroup!

Christmas Holidays 2007

De kerstvakantie voor de kids is lekker lang, de school is gesloten voor ongeveer 6 weken. Gelukkig vermaken ze zich over het algemeen goed. Het optuigen van de kerstboom was een leuke happening en het brengt ons in ieder geval enigzins in de kerststemming. Zonder commercie die je erbij bepaald zou het je bijna ontgaan dat het bijna kerstfeest is! Alle activiteiten draaien gewoon door, behalve op 25 December zelf.

In Augustus zijn Gerrit van Stam, Kees Huizer, Jan Maasland, Maaike de Roo en Janneke van Dijk naar Livingstone gevlogen voor een weekendje uit.

En Janneke mocht mee als 'tour guide'
