September 14th we sent a 40' container from Concord to Zanzibar Island Tanzania. This is our second shipment of medical equipment to Zanzibar. This time we have 5 incubators given by CMC Northeast Hospital along with many other items they donated. It is amazing to pack and load supplies and equipment you know will save lives and watch it leave the Evangel Worship Center facility. We will be in Zanzibar when the container arrives.

A group of brave men and women took the long journey to Haydom Tanzania with CHaRA to build a school. The road to Haydom is long, rough, dusty, rocky and bouncy, but the end result is a taste of heaven. After days of working on the school we took a break to travel a little further down a not so traveled path...only a path no road to the village of Hayedaganway. Here little of todays world can be seen, but a beautiful people group known as the Barbiag will emerge from the bushes when they see us arrive. We spend time with them, singing, teaching, giving corn and beans and making sure the sick have care. They say we love them because we keep coming back, they say they know there is a God because we keep coming back.

In July 2008 a team was privileged to venture into the heart of Tanzania to Haydom, a town in the central highlands. The road to get there was typical of the bush, unpaved, dusty, and at one point becoming to or three parallel trails. Up the escarpment we went, the road clinging to the ridgeline. And at the top, a rolling plateau with a vista, a tiny town, and people with the biggest hearts on Earth. Our eight tired and road weary souls found ourselves at the Hotel California. We checked our luggage in but we could never do anything but leave our hearts there.
We were there to give. Partnered with the local church leaders, we had brought willing hands and funds to finish a school r ...

Luhende Kama Somanla - Transformation
 In August 2005 we met Lunhende in Domanga Village. We had come with a small team to present drama, stories and provide some much needed food. Luhende stood alone, he had a severe cleft palate; he had been abandoned by his parents because the people thought they were cursed for giving birth to this little boy. An old lady in the village took the abandoned baby into her home and somehow fed him for eight years. Our hearts were full of compassion for him believing God had a plan for his life. Within a few days, we miraculously found that a doctor from Norway would be coming to the hospital in nearby Haydom (1-2 hour dirve) and we made plans for Luhende to have surge ...

 In 2005 the founders of CHaRA were helping with a wellness clinic on the Island of Zanzibar where they met Aisha. She was 8 months old at the time. Her grandmother brought her into the clinic at the point of death. They rushed her to the hospital to find the hospital in Zanzibar lacked many simple medical supplies and equipment to save lives. Aisha was carried to the various departments of the hospital by Carol from x-ray to blood testing, Ron was sent into town for the medication and supplies needed to treat Aisha. The report was not good, she had cerebral malaria with only a short time to live. After spending time with her doctor telling about malaria killing babies every 5 minutes in Tanzania she asked the question of them, "now that you know, what will you do?" Because of baby Aisha and the question they faced, CHaRA was founded to help pre ...
