Home Newsletters Heather Heather's February 2006 newsletter Heather's February 2006 newsletter I will be leaving for Malawi sometime in June of this year and I will be there for six months, I will return in December.  This is very exciting for me and a bit stressful, as I think about all the details that need to be taken care of before I go.  I have two people who will take over my position while I am gone:  Cat and Ben.  Ben will restock all ingredients and Cat will take care of volunteers. While I am in Malawi I will be doing blacksmithing, welding, bicycle repair, and other miscellaneous tasks.  The plan is that we will have a group of people from our church go to Malawi after I have been there for a couple months to set up a workshop where we will build things, repair bicycles and anything else of that nature. I will be working with orphan children most of the time.  I will try to teach them the skills that I have so that they can use them in their lives as they grow older to make their own living putting those skills to use.  I believe that by going to Malawi to teach these children these basic skills I could transform the lives of several children.  Being that the children that I will work with are orphans they have no parents or relatives to show them basic life skills.  Please pray for… Free Government shipping to open up so that we can send our food to Malawi along with tools and supplies. The team going to Malawi this summer.  That each person will raise the money needed to go. A deep impact on each person going. Long term ministry in Malawi. Please pray for me as I prepare to be gone for 6 months.  Please pray that I will receive the support that I need to do this.  The total amount that I will need to raise for the whole trip will be about $5,000.  Please consider supporting me so that I can do this important work. Please pray that I will get another room mate, this will help me pay bills at home. I feel very privileged to be able to take an internship like this, and I am really looking forward to this.
