Farewell to Sophie

On 20th May 2010, the CMU children's home community had to say goodbye to Sophie, who had spent with us four months and Sebastian, who had spent also 2 weeks with us. It was hard to say goodbye but their time to go back had reached. It was time of appreciating all that they did for CMU mainly to needy children. Both children and the team members had time to credit our volunteers strength. It was interesting. The dance, praising and worship, eating together, songs and the poem were encouraging. I believe it was good for Sophie to know her strength and what others appreciate about her. Thanks for all your contributions to CMU.

Before treatment!

After treatment!

Samueli's hand looks much better after 2 operations and some physiotherapie. Though he cannot yet use his fingers well and it needs much more physiotherapie.

CMU FARM WORK

As the rains begun to fall we planted different food crops including beans, sweet potatoes and maize. When our children got their holiday, we decided to weed all the crops together. It was so enjoyable to work in the gardens with our children. In our African setting, this used to be great time for parents with their children, because it is when the children would learn how to work and those who already knew would work hard to please their family members for favours. In working together with the children, we teach them how to work in the gardens, how to be social and we save the money that would be put into weeding the gardens. We are looking forward for a good harvest.
Thanks to all CMU staff and our children!
