Apujan Agricultural Project

One of YCVM's Income Generating Activities (IGAs) is farming an agricultural plot in Apujan. Here you can see Silver busy preparing the land and plowing it for future use. Check back for more updates on how this activity progresses.

YCVM Conference

Recently, YCVM held a conference where the Board of Executives, the Executive Committee, the YCVM band, and the orphans can come together in fellowship to get to know each other. It's also an opportunity for the management of YCVM to give career guidance to the orphans, and speak good morals to the children.



Some of the children are also completing their 1st term in school. Here you see Helen Atai standing with Executive Board member Ann Onyait. Since YCVM has currently run out of funds, they are borrowing money to keep the kids in school. But borrowing is a tricky proposition. YCVM needs funds for immediate use in caring for the children and keeping them in school. Please visit ycvm.org to find out how to contribute.

A Widow and her Orphan Children

In a recent email from Silver, he included some photos of a widow and her children. From his descriptions, apparently one of the widow's daughters wanted to commit suicide because her mother could not care for them adequately. I can only guess how many other families are in similar situations throughout Africa.
