A big farewell for the Smalls.








Steve and Sarah Small have been with us for seven months. We are very sad to see them go. We are looking forward to their input when they get back to UK.
THANK YOU, Steve and Sarah, for a wonderful job...
Steve has been working on the Mission Website www.icfem-mission.org and the Support a Village website. Sarah has been invaluable in so many ways... Together they are a remarkable team. We thank God for them.
The photos were taken at their farewll party, except the last one - which was at Director's house for their final meal with us.

DEC Water Tank









Some years ago, we received a generous gift to enable us to start an underground water tank to harvest rainwater from the Dreamland Education Centre buildings.



We are very thankful to all who have helped towards the completion of this project.



In the photos, you can see the tank at two stages of construction. The last photos were taken this week.
The photos of the buiding show that some guttering is there, but a bit more is needed.
When this tank is finished, it will be a big blessing and the water problems will be much reduced.

A visit to DMCC
























On a recent visit to DMCC, I saw Mama Susan. She was walking around, but wanted me to take her photo in the three-bed ladies ward. Of course the other ladies wanted their photos taken as well, so here they all are, including a Mama who had given birth to twins at home a day or two earlier.
Mama Susan has now been discharged and we thank God for her recovery.

April end-month prayer






This month, Prayer and Fasting was at HQ. A crowd of all ages turned up. You can see some who were not fasting!
It was a very blessed time.

If you would like to receive the monthly prayer newsletter and pray with us, please e-mail office@icfem.org
