H C T V - March 2010

We apologise for the delay in update. March was a very busy month for us as we were also out to promote handicrafts by the OA and also a little booklet on our ministry. We came up with a booklet called “Love Your Neighbour – Insights from the Village”, which is aimed at raising awareness and also fund raising for the ministry. The book is a light & easy read with many pictures from the village and Scriptures to reflect on.

If you'd like to obtain copies and help raise funds to provide clean drinking water to the villagers, please email us health.care.to.villagers@gmail.com


Our trip to the village this month was on the 2nd week as it marked the end of the mourning period for Irfan (the 3 year old who passed away in January), and the villagers wanted us present for the celebration. Travelling on a Saturday and returning the next day gave us more time with the villagers, but it also meant that we had to drive very carefully as there were many times when we had to make way for timber lorries much bigger than our vehicle.


The villagers were generally more cheerful this time as they had officially marked the end of their mourning period. Due to the extreme heat and lack of clean water, many were having flu like symptoms. Other than that, there were thankfully no serious cases.


Our next trip will be on the 3rd week of April instead of the 1st because Easter Sunday is on the 1st week of April.


Thank you for your continued prayers and support.
