The Patience of the Zimbabwean's is so very evident right now. Waiting for election results when the election took place a month ago.
Will their patience continue. I don't think it can. When thousands if not millions are suffering daily. The unarmed, defenceless people will surely raise their voices if not any weapon they can lay their hands on. I pray it will not come to that end. .....................
I am delighted to tell you that maise has been purchased for the women and children. I will let you read that letter yourself. It will be posted shortly. Now we have a definate project with people that can be monitored we hope to do even more than what we are doing now.
Once we receive the childrens pictures to go with the names already posted we will be asking if anyone would like to sponsor a child or a group of people sponsor the children living in the Safron Waldon project. We are looking for ways to do that. If you are interested please e mail by return. So much to do. So limited, either with money, or purchase of goods in Zimbabwe.
However, we are making a difference. A big difference that is appreciated.
Till next time , Sue

STILL WAITING AND WONDERING STILL HOPING
The elections in Zimbabwe took place on the 4th March it is now april 10th and still no results, people still wait in hope but the people of Zimbabwe now wait in fear . Below is a copy of a letter I received today, ...............
.Subject: Last White farmers under siege, instigated by Mugabe
Dear Family and Friends, Well neve thought I would have to do this email do not know if it may be my last from our farm "Chidza At 3.30pm today a lorry load of so called Mugabe brain washed "war-vets" arrived at our gate to take over our land, equipment and pedigree cattle. This crazy action is occurring in a country where there is little food being produced ! It is now 6 pm and they have been singing their war songs at our gate for three hours, the atmosphere is violent and more and more of them have arrived.We managed to get our daughter Alison and her young son "Little John" into town and for now it is just John and myself, plus our dogs remaining in the house on the farm. They have said that our labour will not work tomorrow . They have demanded that John mustkill them a sheep, which John has flatly refused to do, so no doubt they will simply kill one for themselves.None of our paid labour will even attmpt to come to work tomorroweither! Graham Richards who lives south of us is also under siege at the same> time as us, so this siege of the last remaining whites is an orchestrated plan. The Goddards and Deidricks are in the same boat.They have already taken over Pa-Nyanda Guest Lodge, and Graham and his wife Callie are> now in town.Alison is at John sisters in Masvingo town and her husband Carl is expected back from Bulawayo tonight. Lorna's telephone no. is Zw code 39-264323 ; Ali is on 011216643Our Phone Landline is 039-266080>> Cell Phone Nos. 011-215275 ; 023-258810 Please pass this email on to as many folk as you would like to , the llegal action must become "known" thru out the world . If you know of anyone in the Media, please ensure that they become> aware /are alerted to this evil tyrant's actions to keep power at all costs. We have to let the world know what is happening. Our love to you all. John and Joy from Chidza.
How very sad. I hope they are safe as i read this. till next time sue

April 4th and still waiting for election results
It is April the 4th, elections took place 6 days ago and still no results. Zimbabwean's continue to do what they always do. Wait! Wonder! Despair! Yet still hold out hope.
The world continues to watch and wait with them.
Thank you to those who have enquired after my brother Patrick. He is now off life support, eating mush so is able to swallow much better. Has some movement on his left side. In general much further ahead than we expected after such a massive stroke.
Please watch for new photos. The kids are now really getting excited and using their imaginations. Look for yourself in the photo gallery they should be there in the next few days. A beaded VW, the doors, hood and trunk open. Even a spare tire under the hood.
A Harley Davison bike. A rooster eggcup. Wire car. Large and small bikes.
Please order through my e mail address
Please continue to write and feel free to write on the blog itself.
You will also see posted soon a new letter from Zimbabwe with the women and childrens names who are benefitting from your donations.
Talk to you soon. sue
