Thank you for stopping by to show your interest. Vision Africa was launched in May, 2007 by Mission Community Church. Mission has partnered with Somebody Cares, an organization in Lilongwe, Malawi, to help minister to widows and orphans affected by HIV/AIDS. In October, 2007, Mission adopted a village called Chikudzulire and has since sent teams to help with medical & construction needs.
This blog will be helpful in keeping up with the team's progress and can be used to get regular updates on Vision Africa.

Top | Reply to this Title: preparing supplies Author: Julianne Date Posted: 24 Jun 2009 10:55 PM (GMT -08:00) Last evening was our packing party. We gathered up our donations, extra suitcases, and met to sort out what we could bring and what would have to wait for next time. We're limited to 2 bags per person, with a weight limit of 50 lbs/bag. Each of us is bringing one bag of supplies and one personal bag. We're bringing three bags of school supplies this trip. We have individual slates, chalk, pencils, and crayons. We also have lots of laminated wall charts. Although the local language is Chichewa, English is an official language of Malawi. Children begin learning English at an early age, so our wall charts with days of the week, colors, months, and numbers will be very useful. We have one bag of general healthcare supplies. Included are gloves, large jugs of antibacterial soap, hand sanitizer gel, motrin, tylenol, vitamins, band aids, antibiotic ointment, and hydrocortisone ointment.
