Because of your generous support, missioner George is able to demonstrate to a student of the work skills program how to make balance beams for the handicapped students of the Huruma School. Because you have sustained four missioners in this region, the two groups of students have learned to support each other’s needs. Thank you.

Balance and Support…
Two ministries work together to meet the needs of a community

In July of 2009 Huruma School, a school for handicapped children located in Mwanza, Tanzania, started a program to teach young adults work skills that will help them to prosper. The program is for young people that have maximized their academic capabilities but are able to learn hand-on skills. The program started with four young men working on woodworking skills and outdoor management.

The program was conceived by MKLM missioner Bertha Haas as an addition to her work at Huruma which includes providing academic instruction to 40 handicapped children.
