We would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to all who helped us make a difference. We are going to visit our second home Jairos Jiri in the last weekend of holiday. Here is an update on what took place at Mushawevana. 

At Musha Wevana Children's Home we were greated by Ms Kaseke, the phenomenal lady running this Home. 
We got a brief outline of the home and how it operates and here were our findings. 

Musha Wevana Children's Home contains four main buildings called family units in which the population of children is divided into 4 groups.Each group has a matron "mother" in charge of monitoring it 24hrs a day. 
The kids enjoy 3 meals a day that is breakfast, lunch and supper and we were happy the groceries we took there could help. 

In terms of education, each child is enrolled at an academic institution within the vicinity of the home. 
These include : 

R.G. Mugabe Primary School 
Nyameni Primary & Secondary School 
Cheritombo 
Neagle House 
Marondera high School 

When it comes to fees, back in the day, fees came in the form of grants from Social Welfare but was only accessible to promising and committed children. 
Those who were not very committed had their school financed by well wishers.Recently an organization known as Help One Now has come in and is paying for every child's fees, uniforms and stationery. 

How do children end up in this home? 
Well Musha Wevana Children's Home accommodates children with different backgrounds including abandoned or abuses which include physical, sexual or emotional.If a child is identified by the community he/she is sent to the police.The police then take the child to a hospital for a medical check up and if the child is not claimed by a relative within 24hrs he/she is sent to a home. 
The home accepts children from 1 day old to 18 years old as per government conditions but if a child is still furthering his or her studies they can keep the child till he or she is 21.Those who are more ino practicals are sent for vocational training at Mt Hill where their skills in crafts are groomed. 

The home is proud to have graduates with one actually a lecturer at Chinhoyi University and have set an example to the rest of the kids.If a child successfully finishes a course, the home assists in finding them a job as they work hand in hand with firms such as OK and Edgars and local business owners. Special mention goes to Theo who was the young man with the best overall character and quite an exemplary behavior. 

To get the ball rolling we had some music and dance with the kids.We also did a very complicated yet seriously entertaining game led by Elisha (let the children play ) 
We had generous photo shoots with the kids and I'm sure everyone present made a new friend.The kids also received a motivational lecture about life from Jayden (Youth wold changers). 

Lastly we handed over the gifts we came with to Ms Kaseke said a few parting words, took a few parting photos, had brief parting conversations. 

They say the joys of giving far outweigh those of receiving. Whoever said that, did not lie..... 

Please continue to help us help those in need.
