Time has gone on, and I have only managed to go back once since my last blog entry, but I have now been able to send money via Vic to pay for food for the children whenever I have had an SOS message from Andrew at the orphanage. My friends Vic and Terry have loaded up Vic's truck with food and been able to delivery it for them. I was able to leave a fair amount of money with Vic last time I was there, and it has made sure that the orphans have been fed when times got very hard.
The wonderful new orphanage is now built, but the thing they did not have enough money for was to put guttering and water storage tanks in place. I heard about this last November when organising my usual Christmas food gift to them. I immediately transferred enough money to pay for all the equipment to be bought (again, thanks to Vic & Terry who got the best prices as well) and I have recently seen photos of the orphanage with the guttering and water tanks in place - and of course, it will be enormous benefit during the long dry season that Botswana has (mainly when all the rain is falling here!)
I still hope to return to Botswana one day to see all my lovely friends there, and to see for myself the superb orphanage that was just a dream that first time I went.
I am hoping that this link will work as it is the Orphanage report with lots of photos and showing the enormous amount of support they have from all over the place.
