House Shuffle

Helsby's House in Progress


The Helsby’s new house, or “Staff House One” is close to being done, a few more weeks- we hope. As soon as they can the Helsbys will move into it, and the Millers will move into the Volunteer House, were the Helsbys were. Ever since finishing language school in Mwanza the Millers have been living in the Plaster House, which is a tight squeeze for all of them. The idea behind all this moving is to get the Millers into a bigger house and Josh closer to the office. Also it will be nice for the Helsbys to be in a more central spot. The Tanner kids are very excited because it means the Helsbys will be living with in shouting distance

Just a Reminder

Please pray for the Mbugua family. In seven short months John and Milka, our first foster parents, have inherited seven children. Pray for them as they begin to build and lead their new and sudden family. They are doing an amazing job and we are so thankful for them.

Permission Granted

We have the last permit! For the on campus program to be legal, as an orphanage, Tanzania requires we have a “license to run a home”. We have been waiting for this last license so that we can start getting more kids, and now it is finally here! It arrived last week and on Friday we hope to get two new kids on sight thanks to this new permit. We are very excited to get Michael and Aika. Both have been in a baby home in Mwanza, waiting to be adopted. At four years old they are no longer allowed to be there, and it is unlikely that they will be adopted, so they are coming to Mavuno! And we are so happy to give them a home and family.

Welcome

This is Mavuno Village's new blog! We are going to try to keep this up dated so every one can know what is happening here. Enjoy!
