Hello everyone out there tuning in to the Nyakishenyi African Mission, Inc. We just had a wonderful time with our 3rd annual Chili-Cook-off event sponsored by the Church of the Transfiguration and hosted by Greg Holson, owner at the Home at Braddock Inn. It was a great night also because we were able to invite the public for the first time. We were able to raise enough funds to bring us to our challenge goal by the Ausherman Foundation to match us with $5,000.00.
Now we have enough to begin to do our vocational training for at least 10 youth. In the meanwhile, we have some plans to build a medical center and staff house in Nyakishenyi! We have the architectural renderings and the plans are being put together more every passing day. It is our hope and prayer that we will lay the first building stone this August while I am visiting the village for our 2010 mission project.
Did I say how exciting this is!!!:) The total estimated funding is approximately $78,ooo dollars just for the buildings. However, the facility will be non-goverment run and have many departments, such as eye care, dental and serve approximately 100,000 people in the community of Nyakishenyi.
More exciting news is that I will have a journalist from the Frederick News Post joining me by the name of Ron Cassie for half of my visit and in the middle of my visit and returning home with me we will have a Dr. Julian Choe come for his first visit to the mission site. He will be treating people medically there and doing a clinic for the people of Nyakishenyi.
Next mission trip back will be August 1-29th. Please keep our project in your prayers. More updates will come soon!!!
Blessings,
Judy A. Willson, President
