Thank you!!!

Working at Lambano is one of the most amazing jobs ever, there are days when I wonder “what am I doing here” but most of the time I’m really grateful that I work here. It’s really good to see how God changes people and to see them grow, especially our volunteers!



Miriam with one of the Lambano kids!

Most of our volunteers come through a mission organisation called SIM. SIM send us volunteers from all over the world. Miriam, a 17 year lady who was born in England but did most of her growing up in France, joined Lambano 6 months ago. She helped the older kids with homework and that helped the kids to do really well in school last year. Miriam was asked to do lots of different things and she did them well. It’s been a blessing to see Miriam grow in Christ - she not only got involved with the children but she made it a point to get to know the staff and the local people too and that was the highest highlight for me. On Tuesday we had to say goodbye to her; it was really hard for all us and we couldn’t believe that 6 months passed so quickly! The children already miss her.

Thank you Miriam for giving of your time to come and bless our children, you will be greatly missed!


Dr Maharaj with the little boy!

Two years ago we took this little boy to a private hospital to have his shunt replaced (you would have read about the whole saga and how we nearly lost him) and since then he is doing well. Last week, Mama Barbara took him back to the hospital that operated on him to thank the doctors and the staff for the wonderful job they had done. The doctor that operated on him couldn’t believe that it was the same child! When he arrived he sang a ‘’thank you song’’ to the doctor and the doctor had tears in his eyes. This boy is such a charmer!

Thank you Dr Maharaj for operating on this boy and making him well!

isn't it amazing how God brings special kids and special 'helpers' together?
