MOZAMBIQUE 2014 - III - MONDAY

 Monday was a festive day! People had organized a welcome party for the visitors from Canada, Brazil and South Africa. This is the first time Pastor Alfazema came back after he went to Canada in 2011 for cancer treatment.

 All gathered at the chapel at Kuwangisana Project, the Social Branch of the church.

 This was the first time that the three visiting pastors came together with the eight TEE students.

 The guests had special places of honour in front, and a representative of the students was invited to sit there too. – One daughter of the Alfazemas and a Canadian friend were there as well.

 All had opportunity to address the people, and Mama Perpétua was the last one. She spoke in the local Sena language and was translated to Portuguese by Mr. Gabriel, Director of the Kuwangisana Project.

 Local people introduced themselves and gave so many thanks for what the Project and the Church are doing for them.

 Children receive special care from the Project.

 Food was prepared for everyone: rice, 

 …chicken…

 ...goat.

 A huge baobab tree was blown over by a strong wind onto the Project’s Guesthouse recently… The guesthouse will be rebuilt.

 Beautiful flowers make the place happy: bougainvillea.

 After lunch, we all went to visit one of the schools of the Project, at São Paulo Lutheran Church, in Sena.

 It was lunch time for the children.

 Well cared for, the children enjoy the school and the lunch.

 Even eating with the fingers, there was  not one grain of rice or  beans on the mat.

Director Gabriel and Engineer Elder. Elder is drawing the plans for the new Guesthouse and for the Concordia Lutheran Center (read more about further).
