Nazareth House Apostolate

We want to start by thanking God for sending the rains at last.The hot,brown,and dusty environment in Kabala is gone. With the returns of the rains,the place is clean and fresh. We welcome the rain season with plenty of fruits and green leaves to eat.We, the Nazareth House Apostolate School Kabala, want to thank God for another blessed week in the academic calender.I strongly believe that the beauty of any human being lies not in the physical appearance but in how he can help and make others happy.This is exactly what people like Mama Vicki,Father Hicks and a host of others out there unknown to us, are doing – -making it possible for hundreds of helpless children in Kabala to receive quality education free of cost through their tireless effort and support. To you all, we say,your support,effort,and contributions to the NHA has changed the life of these children in preparing to take responsibility for themselves in the future.We strongly believe that EDUCATION is not about filling buckets, but it is about lighting fires in the mind set of people.

The school, as always, is working to make sure that all children receive education.We thank God as we were able to hand out our school report cards to our children this week.It is usually a happy and but also sad event,as not all will be the best of theAs a school we always make sure that our children do their best, this is very good for them. As

I always tell them, “…examination is an examination in which nobody likes to fail,so work and study very hard”.I was so happy about the boy, Abu Mansaray whose mother was sent to prison for 6 months for not paying her rent did extremely well. Pa. Foday and I accompanied the boy on his regular visit to the prison to see his mother and to tell her that despite her absence, he is doing fine in school through the help and support of NHA. The mother could not hide her joy as she openly cried with a smile coming through her tears.

We thank God for this opportunity,making us to have UNITY IN DIVERSITY.To you all we say thank you for making hundreds of children happy out here.

Once we reached the village of Kamasorie,

Kadijah, Emily, Mako and I immediately started sorting

the medications we had brought, digging out the Internal Parasite pills.

Almost everyone in the village had worms.

Sanu’s sister, Amie, the village nurse, assisted us as we started their treatment right away.

Amie is responsible for the medical care for 3 villages in the area. She has very little help and even less equipment and supplies. NHA committed to assist whenever we can with whatever supplies we have. She is a remarkable, dedicated and capable woman. On this day, we gave her a large bag full of medical supplies. We are honored to be of service to her and the work she does.

One by one, we gave the treatment to those in need.

You have to make sure that they actually take the pill,

rather than selling it or giving it away – which is a common action.

Or if they may take more than the recommended dosage.

You must go beyond simply dumping the things they need with them,

you have to work it individually to make sure it is properly taken.

This what we do at NHA;

the individual touch, one to one.

I am appalled by the horrible situation with internal parasites for these people.

Everyone, all walks of life, old, young –

they all are carrying worms within them

and with no treatment being offered by medical facilities.

I am thankful we are able to obtain the medication to help those we encounter. I just wish we could do more.

Children should not die of pin worms,

especially not in this day and age.
