At least once a year a group of Living Compassion staff travels to Africa

At least once a year a group of Living Compassion staff travels to Africa to take the next steps in the Africa Vulnerable Children Project. It is always a life-changing experience.

Experiencing the African culture has transformed us. Even in the face of extremely difficult circumstances, the people we encounter have a joy and enthusiasm for life that is truly inspiring. 

On these trips we celebrate the things that have been accomplished since our previous trip and hold meetings to put the next phase of the projects in place.

July 2008

This trip we started an adult education program and had a ceremony with local officials to connect them with the projects in Kantolomba. There was also a great deal of work completed on the property, including roofing for the medical clinic building and new cooking pots and an electric sewing machine added to the property.

April 2008

This would be another short, action-packed trip: making sure everything is on track with the medical/community building and talk about what is needed to finish it, discussing emergency assistance for people displaced by collapsed houses during the heavy rains, collaboration on health and clean water campaigns, and thoughts for next steps on the projects.

October 2007

This trip drilling a well was completed to bring clean water to the people of Kantolomba for the first time. We checked in on the process of the Community Center and found a great English teacher for the team here in Kantolomba.
