ZAMBIA MISSION
Greeting sponsors
I want to thank all of you for your continued generous support of the Zambia orphanage & school sponsorship. Life seems fairly normal there, with the usual struggles, of course. One of our college students has had some difficulties but with his sponsor's kind understanding and continued support he should finish in a couple of terms.
Victoria and her family suffered the tragic loss of her 4 month old granddaughter this past October. Pray for the family.
There are no current plans to travel to Zambia, but we will try to get pictures of the children to you.
Be blessed my friends,
Candy Kaminsky

Director of the Orphanage in Zambia
A Letter of Appreciation from Derrick Lyainga
Dear Aunt candy,
Greetings to you and the family, my name's are Derrick Lyainga one of the beneficiary of your sponsorship. I am a double orphan, i completed school but I could not further my studies because I had no one to pay for my education I was in hopeless situation and I always prayed to God to send me a helper and God answered my prayers by sending you to be my helper through Rev Victoria Iliamupu.
I am writing this message to convey my honest and genuine gratitude and appreciation to you for sponsoring my studies from 2018-2022. Your scholarship is priceless and will always be treasured in my heart. I completed my studies in 2020 and I graduated in 2021 with a diploma in computer studies and luckily I was employed this year by the government of Zambia as a computer studies secondary school teacher.
Aunt candy becoming a computer studies teacher has always been my dream and Thank you so much for helping me attain one of my greatest dreams. God bless you and your family.
Yours sincerely,
Derrick Lyainga.

"Anna Liyambela has greatly improved in many ways. She is in the 5th grade, when she came to the orphanage, she was always a very sad girl and very quiet. At School even the teachers were concerned. We were called by the School teachers to explain why Anna was so quiet and was not participating in school work. We explained to the teachers about the passing on of her parents, both of them in one year, that this could have affected her. The teachers started spending more time with her. We also gave ourselves to spend more time with her. I personally brought her to my home so she had time with my grandchildren. Now she is a very happy girl. Her young sister Limpo is doing well and in the second grade. She is a happy girl."
