The Maker Day was great. I thought there were lots of people who visited us in the 3 hour time slot at Wheaton Public Library. Today the presenters received an email that said,
“Hi, Presenters!
 
Thank you all for being a part of our first Maker Day! We had a blast. All we heard from attendees was how much they loved all the stations!
 
We estimate that between 400 and 600 people attended the event. You all touched so many people in our community and helped them learn something new. We truly couldn’t have done this without all of you.
 
We’re hoping to make this an annual event so if you’d like to be a part of it in the future or know someone else that would love to have a station, keep your eyes out for information next year.
 
Thank you again. It was wonderful to meet all of you and I hope you had as much fun as we did!”

A Timely Word

In the midst of the long silence, I received an encouraging note from Rev. Alinani Waya, a Tanzanian pastor. “Greetings in Jesus name. I am one of the pastors whom you, Mama Alice, sponsored with a bike (back in 2008) and I thank you so much for your help. The bike has been helping tremendously with pastoral visitations of my church members. I thank Pastor Joel Songela, who God used as the bridge. Thank you, thank you, thank you. God bless you.”

Thanks to Kristina Matson, an art student at College of DuPage, we have our first coloring book page. We will have the coloring book page available this Saturday for the Makers Day at the Wheaton Public Library.  It is also a big step towards our next dream of having a coloring book and an illustrated children’s book.

Feel free to make copies of the colored .pdf copy and the coloring pdf copy and use it for disability awareness in your own group.

Malawi Country Team Leader: Peachtree Tubepoka Malawi Legacies

He comes to the front as his name is called out with his wife in tow. He has a questioning look on his face wondering what this is about. He is not used to being the centre of attention. Winfore Kanyika, like the biblical Mordecai, is about to be honoured, an honour that is long overdue. He is given a hand pedaled trike, a gift from His Wheels International. The questioning look is replaced with pure joyful disbelief. Winfore’s wife is dumbfounded.

Malawi Country Team Leader: Peachtree Tubepoka Malawi Legacies

Wezi Phiri breaks out into a song of praise and gratitude, “Jalawe lange ndi Yesu,” meaning Jesus is my rock. His mother who is also his Sunday school teacher, joins him and they flit back and forth across the stage of Chitipa Africa International Church. The reason for their joy is that Wezi has just received a hand pedalled trike from His wheels International (more…)
