Where to start? They now have soccer posts up and I think Dion is looking forward to developing the next (maybe first) Zimbabwe Soccer team! Power is a constant problem, with one section of Chiviu still without power. Vana isn't connected to the mains power yet and get their power through the Church. I'm not sure how that works but with the new transformer in place, they are hoping that they will be able to connect Vana to that and have something close to a constant source of electrisity.
They beleive that the telephone line has now been repaired and that they will be able to finaly get some internet connection, but it will only be dial-up and not very predictable.
The children, are slowly growing to trust them, one slept on Rebekah's lap through Church on Sunday, so things are begining to develop there. The latest problem to hit is the school sending home any of the children that haven't been able to pay the $5us fee for the term. They didn't say how may kids that this affected but I would say quite a few.
I'll leave it at that, I'm sure there was something else they wanted me to pass on but I have left my mobile phone at work and the information is in that. I'll probably do a new post in a few days. Rebekah is texting me constantly with news, and as I have said, we ring them every week. They sound happy, well and relaxed.

Hey Bek & D, Can't wait to see some pics of these gorgeous kids when you come online! Thinking of you both daily. Dion, if you get a soccer team up and running, what will you guys call your team? I am thinking I might send over a newspaper or something so you have an idea on what's going on at home (in Ipswich).
