A couple of weeks ago we had a visit from Dennis Gaboury and Tinashe from Zimkids Orphan Trust in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. Dennis started the trust as a support community for children who have lost one or both parents to Aids. The children sew dolls which are offered for a small donation and the new owner receives a thank you note from the child who made the doll. All of the money goes to that child's home for the well being of that family unit.
There are 160 orphans at the Trust. The project has grown and now a donor has helped build a center for the kids where they can sew dolls, get tutoring and medical care. There is a huge garden, areas for teaching skills such as welding. They have an outdoor stage for performances too. There is a library. Tinashe helps Dennis with the project when he is back in the states.
Aliy and Tinashe pose with the two SP Kennel Huskys heading back to be with the kids in the orphanage in Zimbabwe.
