HEALTH FACILITY CONSTRUCTION UPDATE
It has taken a little time to sort out some of the best practices for selecting a contractor, and now the process is moving ahead with an invitation for bids going out in the next few days. We would appreciate prayer that an excellent contractor will be selected who will commit to the project with enthusiasm and integrity for the FVM vision. It will be exciting to see the picture of the land (as seen below) begin to include the buildings we have dreamed and prayed for!
DAY OF THE AFRICAN CHILD COMMEMORATION
This yearly event involves sports and health learning opportunities. Newton Sindo remains active in encouraging open conversations on health issues that impact the quality of life for children in Malawi.
RENOVATION TIME
While planning for the new health facility, it was also clear that some of the older buildings needed repairs. You can see from the pictures below some work completed on the Chinangwa School in Sunuzi. The Chinangwa building was constructed about 15 years ago under Future Vision Ministries. The structure needed renovations to fix cracks in walls and floors and repair the drainage system damaged by roots, as well as an extension to its storage room. The centre serves a great purpose in the area and the people are delighted to see the building back to a safe and solid structure!
Thank you for your continued prayers and support for Future Vision Ministries and our friends in Malawi. The regular programs continue to be impactful due to your generosity. Since the beginning of 2024 alone, over 400 children have received preschool lessons and nutritious meals that stimulate their holistic development into useful citizens, students have been able to continue programs in secondary school, as well as college and university. As well, Joyful calendars have been widely given out within Islamic areas, community-based Bible studies and evangelistic activities have taken place, and weekly radio broadcasts in Chichewa and ChiTumbuka languages have been done on Trans World Radio (TWR) reaching 6 million listeners with the Good News. Finally, two childcare facilities (Chinangwa and Chifundo Nursery School buildings) have been rehabilitated for added strength. The buildings were built over 12 years ago and these improvements were needed and valued. Thank you! You make a difference!
