Impact Zambia Orphans

The primary purpose of this blog is to keep our family current on our lives and to create an archive of the fabulous candid shots my talented photographer husband takes. But I'm gonna deviate here for a moment to share something dear to my heart. About a year and a half ago, my husband and I had the privilege of partnering with Lifesong for Orphans to help children who have been orphaned in Zambia. As in most African countries, the orphan crisis is great. One out of every five individuals is HIV+ and only ten percent of all children attend school regularly. This is where Lifesong steps in to provide two meals a day and a solid education for 253 (and counting) orphaned and vulnerable children. Lifesong is in need of more people to partner with them so that a new addition to their school can be built. If it's on your heart to care for the orphan, I'd encourage you to get involved! Lifesong is one of the best organizations I know. --Catherine
***Impact Zambia Update: 30 commitments...4 days to go. Needing 70 more Impacters!

Impact children like Bwalya Bwayla & have your gift MATCHED!!

As you saw in the video, Bwalya Bwalya became a double orphan because of HIV/Aids when he was only five years and now he, too, is HIV+.  Thankfully, Bwalya Bwalya lives with his grandparents and is able to attend the Lifesong Zambia School. Despite his uncertain past, he has a hopeful future because of the presence of Christ in his life and the opportunity to receive an education.

We have launched an Impact Zambia 100 campaign that will help build a high school for Bwalya Bwayla and other children in similar life situations.  We are nearly 1/3 of the way there and have only 4 days left.  

We are looking for 100 people to make a monthly commitment of $20 for one year to help complete this building project. MATCHING GIFT OPPORTUNITY!  (that's right-­‐-­‐gifts will be matched dollar-­‐ for-­‐dollar thanks to a generous donor!) Sixty-­‐seven cents a day from 100 people for a year can make this vision a reality for children like Bwalya Bwalya. 4 days left 70 people to go...Will you join us?
