VOH Mwanza Boys Play in Soccer Match
Some VOH Mwanza teenage boys along with some friends from the community were invited to play a soccer match against the local international school’s team. Unfortunately we lost, but everyone was all smiles! There is always next time!

Worship at VOH Burundi
Beni-Salvator, the youngest VOH Burundi child, is leading other children in worship. They are practicing “Jesus Loves Me”, which they learned from a recent Canadian team.
Meet Mando from VOH Kitwe
Mando moved into a children’s home at VOH Kitwe when he was 7 years old. Now, 11 years later, he is 18 and a real blessing to have around the Village. Mando loves to work with his hands and is always willing to help out wherever he can. Most recently, Mando has learned how to repair shoes and this, along with other skills, including welding, that he has acquired over the time that he has lived at VOH will allow him to be independent and support himself in the years ahead.

New Sign for VOH Malawi!
Mphatso lives in one of the children’s homes at VOH Malawi. She and her house mom, Beatrice were very happy that Mphatso’s Uncle graciously donated his skills and painted a new sign for us. It was his way of showing appreciation for all that VOH has done for his niece and we’re all very excited to put up our new sign

This week at the VOH Mongu Save a Life program Jaycee taught the mothers about finance and budgeting, to help them earn enough money to feed their children once they leave the program. We got great feedback and even our field workers said they learned something!
