Sergio and Nancy Bersaglio Celebrate 15 Years
This month, Sergio and Nancy Bersaglio celebrate 15 years living oversees in Africa. Check out what they have to say:
Steve Chaloner Visits VOH Burundi
Last week Stephen Chaloner, the PAOC Africa Regional Director, visited VOH Burundi. He spoke with the children and staff and we were all excited to welcome him and to listen to his powerful testimony. He also encouraged us to trust in God regardless of the situations we may pass through in life. We prayed together and then had a lot of fun visiting and taking pictures. We thank God for his visit!
Chongwe Community Gives Back
VOH Chongwe was happy to welcome ladies from a nearby Church to our Village. They said they appreciate the difference VOH is making in the community and it’s for that reason they volunteered to come and visit and help clean the grounds. There hope is in doing this, they can show their gratitude to our donors and sponsors.VOH Kenya Prepare for School Break
The children at VOH Kenya gathered together to attend the closing assembly before school break. They received their end of term grades and had their tests returned. During the April holiday, many of the kids will travel with their parents or guardians to visit other family members around Kenya. The children get very excited about their break but they also say they are looking forward to the next term where they will have opportunities to go on field trips, check out books at the new library, and meet new volunteers who are coming to visit and help the Village!Brock Bersaglio Visits VOH Kitwe
Sergio, the Executive Director of VOH Africa, paid a visit to VOH Kitwe on Easter Weekend. In his company was his son Brock, who grew up in Kitwe and was last here in 2010. Brock said he was amazed by all the development that has taken place since his last visit. He also interacted with the children and youth and reconnected with some members of staff who knew him when he was a young boy living in Kitwe. Brock also addressed the youth in the Kachimfya program, and Sergio shared a Good Friday message with everyone. We had a wonderful time together.Lions Club Donates to VOH Malawi
On Easter Monday a team of 20 came to VOH Malawi from the local Lions Club. They were sent by the Vice President of the Republic of Malawi to donate various food items. In his Easter message, the Vice President said he felt helping orphaned children was a good way to remember and show thanks at Easter time.We were blessed with bags of maize, rice, beans, cooking oil, sugar, salt, bathing soap, laundry soap, and more! It was a great end to the Easter weekend and there were smiles all around!
VOH Mwanza Students Excited for School Break!
The children at VOH Mwanza are full of smiles since starting their Easter break. Some are enjoying spending more time at home with their mamas, while others are going to visit nearby family members. In addition to having more free time at home, those staying at the Village are enjoying having lots of extra time for playing and participating in special Easter activities.
Building Classrooms at VOH Zimbabwe
Building classes are a key part of the VOH Zimbabwe high school. Students who are taking building are given opportunities to help with various building projects around the Village as part of their practical lessons. We definitely have some very skilled young people at our school!

We are so excited to see how far VOH Africa has come, and we are looking forward to another 15 years! [read more]
