Awana Sunday

Today was Awana Sunday when we celebrated 30 years of Awana in Zambia at Bethel Chapel. The Ipusukilo children took part in the singing, reciting memory verses, drama and prayer.

We have recently welcomed six new children to Ipusukilo. They are living in Hostel 2 under the care of house mother Marjorie.

Bore Hole

Towards the end of the dry season, our shallow bore hole gives us less water and we have to pump little and often to try and fill the tank. In June we had a deeper bore hole drilled down to a depth of 50m, with a estimated yield of 1.5 litres per second. We are now constructing the service manhole chamber and putting in the cable and pipes so that we can pump the water to the tank on the tower.
