Our team had our final group meeting last night, we watched the outstanding AIDS film called A Closer Walk and we packed up the trunks with gifts from all over the United States for our friends in East Africa.

It includes:

• Medical supplies
• Shoes
• Toys
• Candy
• School books
• Clothes
• 2 Computers, 1 Digital Camera, 1 Video Camera
  

These are all donations made possible by the friends of Lahash from Maine to California. Thank you to all of you. Please pray with us as we head out.

SCF Update
Nick and Dr. Oronje are preparing for the upcoming team visit, on top of their other duties. Nick recently was able to print up some T-shirts with a gift from a friend in Colorado. Dr. Oronje is modeling one for you.

Nick and Dr. Oronje also picked up the money from Imago Dei Community for the new Store that will be used to employ the ladies of Renew (our sex worker recovery program) and also provide assistance from the profits for the families struggling to survive in the face of AIDS.

One of these families is Grace Mukami. Nick sent these photos of time spent with them the other day.
The photo above is Dr. Oronje with some of the greens picked from the AIDS nutrition garden started by the nurse CarrieAnne earlier this summer. Dr. Oronje is sitting with the girls of Grace Mukami. The photo to the right is of her newest daughter.
