In Nepal, Mtelo Ministries has been pleased to partner with organizations to provide relief from flooding and to continue the support of education centers. The classes are attended by approximately 150 children who would not have otherwise been able to go to school. Mtelo Ministries has been able to support 10 education centers and sent funds for crisis relief from flooding-providing clothing, blankets and food.

We recently received a letter from someone who was greatly impacted by the flood and the support of Mtelo Ministries. “I am a mother of three children. We are from the poor slum community where about 100 land less families live. Since we don’t have any work in our town and most of the people are jobless with no income. Most of our houses are roofed by plastic and it is difficult for us when it rains. Last July – September, it rained heavily and it was the most difficult time for us. There was water up to our knee inside of our small hut. Everything was damaged inside of our small hut but next morning we saw all the villagers running away due to over-flooding from the river nearby. The over flooded river wiped away all the villages in front of our eyes.

We took shelter in a public school where the school was closed for a month due to rain and floods. We did not have anything with us to feed the children and cloths to wear. There were no options for us.

An organization provided a sack of rice, lentils, cooking oil etc. Thank you for the support for the relief of us.”

To All Our Friends and Sponsors:

As we come to the end of the year, on behalf of Valley of Truth Learning Centre, I take this time to appreciate our sponsors (White Grandma, Aunty Debora, Susan and other friends who have been holding up our hands when we were almost  hanging them down, wiping away our sorrowful tears   and above all standing in prayers with us  for the vision of this school to come to pass.

First, I take this opportunity to thank you all for your many support  to us.  When the school kids were without school uniform. You clothed them and they are now very smart and admirable. When the kids were going without Feeding Programme,  you decided to be  providing us with food. A  time came when the cost of food  doubled , you denied yourself many things and doubled the money for feeding programme.  Our school rooms were damaged excessively and needed repair, you supported us fully  and gave the school a new look.  The school furniture were almost breaking off, you gave it a new look also and made our kids comfortable. Our teachers had difficult time  in teaching without  teaching/learning materials, you provide and furnished the school with many  text books and other. We did not have good security for our school items like books, pieces of chalk, colours, pencils, you  gave  them protection by enabling  buy a wooden cabinet(lockable).

Secondly on behalf of the teachers once again I want to appreciate the gift that we were  given in August.   It really brought a big change in their lives, on their bodies and in their hearts. That was a big and mighty surprise to them.  We are always assured of the school rent and feeding programme for the school.

Lastly receive many greetings and  appreciations from  kids and teachers.  They have wished you well. May the Almighty God  bless you richly in your going out and coming in, may He also bless the work of your hands, let Him always order your foot-steps.  May He expand your territories.

You remain to be remembered in our hearts always.

Amen.

Pastor Nixon.
