THE YEAR 2015 and AHEAD

Every one has a longing for something, a something that has absolutely nothing to do with themselves but with others. It may be a prayer, it may be a wish, it may be a desire to see certain things come to pass, or it may just be a longing for nothing - if that makes sense.

Children are an interesting lot to be with. They have no clue what they shall wake up to tomorrow. They do have a hope, make no mistake - a hope expressed variously through art, mimicry, make believe games, playgroups or any method suitable at that particular moment. They may have an idea of who they want to be or what they want to do, but with absolutely zero indication on how to develop or grow into that. It is our longing to nurture and grow them on the word of God.

This year, a lot has happened since the clock ticked 0001 hours, 2015 Jan 1. Some hearts were broken, others were lifted up, some have lost whatever little hope they had with the passing away of loved ones and their providers, and some just gave up.

Trusts have been betrayed, contracts almost cancelled, but in the end, everything worked out, and most of the children can afford a smile. It was not easy renegotiating the contract and the terms. For the remainder of this year, we have a firm belief that all will work out well.

It was necessary to adopt a different management approach to cut down on operational costs, and make it possible to have more children enrolled. We are yet to see how the new approach will work out in the long run. In a nutshell, we hope to have less to do with the physical structures and more with the actual learning process.

It is our sincere prayer to God that in due time we shall be able to find a better place and relocate operations, where the constraints of overheads shall be kept at a minimum as much as possible. We value you and your kind gestures, words of encouragement, the gifts for the children in form of pencils and crayons and books, and above all for your faith in what we are doing here. Indeed, as we serve him, all glory is his, and we rejoice knowing that we have managed to get that one sheep into the fold, and equip saints for the work that lies ahead.

We still need you, we still need your support.

In Christ,

Tumaini Christian Academy.
