Welcome to "Through a Glass Darkly" - my blog about my service trip to Malawi, Africa.

I left Canada on December 30th for Blantyre, Malawi, AFRICA. I worked with Friends of Malawi Fellowship (FOMF), the organization headed by my aunt Phyllis Labrentz. I taught English language and literature, helping secondary high school students learn to read and write English well enough to pass the government exams.
During that time I was also kept busy teaching guitar, singing, and assisting my aunt.
I left Malawi on July 19th and returned to Canada on July 20th.

THANK YOU!



I have a sponsor now for Harry's school fees, but there are many other students and families who also need help.


*  Funds designated "where most needed" means that we will be able to use that money in a timely manner for the new needs that inevitably arise every month.


*  Funds designated "student support" will be used for school fee shortfalls, government id/exam fees, uniforms, etc.


*  Funds designated "benevolence" or "feeding the hungry" will go for exactly that.


FOMF (Friends of Malawi Fellowship) is a Canadian registered non-profit organization, and as
such they will issue a tax receipt for your giving.

Donations may be mailed to Friends of Malawi Fellowship in Edmonton. People can contact  FOMF to arrange for preauthorized monthly donations. This planned giving helps us to maintain existing projects and plan more effectively.

The address is:

CANADIAN CONTACT: Ruth Martz
FRIENDS OF MALAWI FELLOWSHIP AFRICA
Box 33042, Glenwood P0 Edmonton AB T5P 4V8
Email:
rmartz@shaw.ca

Donations may also be dropped off or mailed to:

Bethel Church (also tax-receiptable)
143 Coach Rd. North
Quesnel, BC

"Orphans Indeed" Sponsorship Program
Students who have neither father nor mother, and no other (extended family) means of support can apply for sponsorship from Friends of Malawi Fellowship. Students must complete an application form. We interview their family/church references to verify the information and their need, and then we look for someone from Canada who can sponsor them. We currently have students waiting for sponsors. If you sponsor a student, we will send you their name, their particulars, and a photo. You are also welcome to correspond with your student.


This is all that's left of Hendrina's house after the rains caused it to collapse.

    Helping as much as I can. Have just been putting Missions or Inez's Mission on the envelope. Will be more specific in the future.

    lol Well, that works just fine too, Diane! I just want people to have choices in what they feel God wants them to do, that's all.
