We have just had our annual general meeting. The Trustees Annual Report made exciting reading. During 2010 our income went up by an astonishing 73%. Grants made to various beneficiaries, including our school sponsorship program, were up by about 10% and over £12,000 has been set aside for building the 'House of Joshua' children's home (construction work is due to begin in earnest on this project very shortly).
The first of our University Students graduated in 2010 and we have another two due to graduate this March. A further four students are currently engaged on university degree courses, with several more younger children also able to attend school thanks to their generous sponsors.
We were able to supply books, computers tools and medical equipment that enabled a significant number of people to learn new skills, find new ways of earning a living and improve their health. Many lives have been changed as a result.
None of this would have been possible without the help of our many friends and supporters. A huge thank you to every single one of you!
If 2010 was an amazing year 2011 looks to be even more so, particularly with the dispatch of a 40 foot ships container of medical aid bound for Cagayan De Oro City and Camiguin Island Province in early March. We anticipate that the equipment we are supplying will directly impact the lives of many thousands of people as we help them to access affordable medical care and improve the general health of the local inhabitants.
We hope and pray that this container will be the first of many.
