LTLA Staff and their Families
We at LTLA (Zim) would like to thank LTLA Board in USA and all those who contributed things for the container. Things are difficult and the hardships did not spare us here at LTLA (ZIM). We and our families got clothes, shoes and food. This includes Jim and Jeannette and one of their grand children. We all could not afford to buy clothes. We thank God for this. Arthur's family and my family (Wilton's) got bed sheets and some blankets in addition. Jamal"s stolen clothes were replaced. Now he has a red blankie.
Pots and Panes, Cutlery etc
We did not get a lot of these in the container.What we got we are at the moment using at the Critical Care Unit. We were short of these at the Critical Care Unit.
Chiswiti Family
The Chiswiti family benefitted so much from the container. Pastor Chiswiti and his family needed clothes. He desperately needed shoes. We gave them clothes and shoes for the whole family. We also gave them food (rice, cooking oil,beans, sugar,tinned foods,peanut butter etc). They are really grateful for the help they are getting from LTLA. They are also getting milk formula and baby foods.
Medication
So far we gave out only 10% of the medication to Jim. He and Jeannette came twice to the Ministry Centre to collect what they needed. We also gave to Jim some shampoos, soaps,suit, shoes and lotions for him and Jeanette. We are giving cough syrups and vitamin tablets as per need to people under LTLA. Vitamins are also being given to those who are HIV Positive. On Friday 04.04.09 we are going to give Presby Clinic medications.
This is the head nurse from the Lomagundi Clinic receiving some of the antibiotics and other misc items.
Clothing Distribution
So far we gave out 50% of the clothes to orphans and their guardians and all who are helped by LTLA under the old age and Chiswiti Clan programmes. Each child got two to three sets of clothes. We are yet to give out jerseys, shoes, socks, towels, etc.
We have families who stay in Mzari extension in Chinhoyi, (Machamire).These are very poor families that we have also helped with clothes. We gave a two sets of clothes per person
