Malaria is being controlled on Unguja Island (Zanzibar) by prevention training,  mosquito net distribution along side of spraying houses. The USA has funded another year of malaria prevention by sending out teams to spray houses again. If they continue to spray and teach prevention this disease can be controlled and the death rate will drop by thousands. The mainland and other Islands are still under great attacks from this parasite that kills all ages of people, still the most vulnerable is children under 5 and pregnant women.  Many thousands still need nets. We found this week on the Island of Mafia only 5000 nets were given to an Island of 50,000 people. They need nets. Spraying is not being done on this Island. We continue to teach in all of our health day clinics and distribute nets as we are able. We can only do this with the help of donors for nets.  We have a school headed by Linda Hahn in North Carolina called Opportunity Middle School raising funds to help us save ... Read More »

After months of packing boxes and numbering each item to be shipped to Zanzibar the 40' container left the warehouse at Evangel Worship Center in Concord. From Charleston South Carolina it took to the seas in September 2009. The contianer arrived in Zanzibar in December 2009.  February Ron and Carol began the task of sorting boxes and equipment to ship to Pemba Island hospitals. On February 20th the Spice Island ship full of medical equipment and supplies arrived at Wete Port Pemba. From there the shipment was sent to the Wete supply area for accounting and sorting to send out to where each item was most needed. Shipping containers is a long a sometimes exhausting job but worth the efforts when you see the smiles and hear the thanksgiving for life saving equipment. In this container were 5 incubators donated through CMC Northeast Hospital and the Jeff Gordon Foundation.

"Just think, you are not here by chance, but by God's chossing. His hand formed you and made you the person you are. He compares you to no one else-you are one of a kind. You lack nothing that His grace can't give to you. He has allowed you to be here at this time in history to fulfill His special purpose for this generation."
This became life to these 10 women as they worked in Zanzibar and Pemba. Sara Scofield, Lee Anne Falls, Ashley Jennings, Charity Pratt, Cara Wicker, Mandy Cormier, Meredith White, Rhonda Hudson, Tambra Cochran and Alane Srackangast. These ladies were busy giving health and life to hundreds of Mothers and young children. If they had not come many would not have smiled or laughed, many would not have been hugged or loved. Some would have lost their life.
