No where to run

Zimbabweans trying to escape torture, starvation or harrassment crossing the border into South Africa are receiving the same treatment there. South African's do not want them. "They are taking our job's" they cry. My heart goes out to these people who are just trying to survive under very difficult circumstances.
We continue to do what we can. Another sum of money has just been deposited to help the women and children at Safron Waldon Project Food will be purchased and delivered this coming Sunday. Hope and Relief to a few.
Thanks to those involved with the donation of $10 for a gecko and many thanks to those who spend hours lining up at the bank for hours every day for a week to get enough withdrawn to buy food and then have to scour the streets and bargain for food. Most in this country of freedom will not understand the trouble one has to go through to purchase food. Even when you get home there is no fridge or stove as there is little or no electricity. I could go on but I think you get the picture. We need your help to continue to support the widows and children.

please e mail if you wish to make a donation for a gecko or have any ideas for fundraising events.

our Walk a thon will take place in White Rock B.C. Canada on June 21st If you are interested in walking or donating please contact me asap.
Until next time. Sue

Even a 4 year old can make a Difference

Yes, even a 4 year old can make a difference. Little Tia (go to letters and see Tia's story) is once again wanting to make a difference in the lives of Children in Zimbabwe, that is so encouraging to me.

Sometimes I wonder how we can keep on giving, sometimes it seems everytime we turn around someone else wants a donation. Then I realize, again, we have to follow our hearts and do what we can, with what we have. My passion lies with the Zimbabwean people. Gracious, polite, gentle people who have by their patience been pushed aside by power and control. Their land left fallow.

I must help. I am driven to help. I have looked into the eyes of the starving people there, starving from a lack of food, justice and indifference from the world.

Can you help? The people of Zimbabwe have hope when we care.

Contact me by this blog or e mail oneagleswings@telus.net and make a difference, we certainly can if a 4 year old can. Project gecko is still alive, help keep it that way.

Until next time. Sue
ps. go to links and look at Cathy's mail direct from Zimbabwe

They waited in vain. Another election in July

I don't really know what to say. After months of waiting for election results a winner was announced. MDC won. However, Mugabe decided that he didn't want to give up his position and has called for another election in July. In the mean time people are being beaten and killed for voting with the MDC When will it end? We will wait again. Until July................

Good news is that the widows and children living at the "Safron Project" are receiving food and assistance with housing, schooling and medication. Geckos are still being ordered which help the children that make them. They are now being housed in an orphanage.

Project gecko is still providing with your help.

Help keep this project and the children alive. Send your support by communication through my e mail noneagleswings@telus.net Keep watch on the web page and read the articles under letters. You will be encouraged by what is happening. I am. Read the latest article on little Tia a 4 year old that is making a difference.

Until next time. Sue ps. keep your questions coming and feel free to write on the blog site.

AND STILL THEY WAIT...............

How long can Zimbabwean's patience last. Does the world care? After Rwanda the world said "There must never be another Rwanda- we can not allow it to happen" It has started in Zimbabwe

There are some in the world that care. We do what we can. It never seems enough. However receiving donations for little wire ornaments has made a huge difference in the lives of some widows and children.

Please don't give up helping. Please don't give up hope that Zimbabwe can change. It can and it will.

When....................?
