The girls in the program this Saturday had a wonderful time with Aunty Martha. The girls, especially the ones in Grade 9 to Grade 12, asked a lot of questions on careers. Martha promised to come with her two daughters, Kambole and Jesse, when they are off work. Kambole is now a lawyer and Jesse is a banker.

Little Mailes fetching clean water from the Living Compassion tap at the property. This rainy season, people have been asked to boil their drinking water that the local company is providing, as the water is not safe. The folks of Kantolomba are lucky to be able to get clean water at Living Compassion.
Eugenia, who has been feeling sick for some time, is now back at the property and doing well. Here she is smiling as she does the dishes.

A wire car is a precious toy to a boy in Kantolomba. It does not matter the model as long as it has four wheels made from bottle tops and some wires. One is able to drive it around the compound like little Moses, who is envied by his friends.
