They have met with 18 men and women who are HIV positive and are providing food for them to take their AVR's, and providing bus fare for some who can't afford to get to the open clinics. There is a huge need for the clinic to be functioning on site.

As for the building, there have been some delays but we think that it will still open on schedule.

Carepoints:

They need money for bars on the window; just last night one of the carepoints (Joyela) was broken into and the food was stolen. Please pray for transitioning some of the children at the closest care point to come directly to the center.

Church:

The numbers have tripled and there is a desperate need for chairs to accommodate the people coming to the service.

Leadership School:

This past weekend (Oct 25) they had 50 people attend the first training workshop. They will be doing the workshop once a month. They learned about HIV/AIDS, gender issues, constitutionalism, separation of powers (politics), and the importance of participating in community development. The people that came gave a good response to the teaching, and they are excited about the youth involvement.

Needs: 24 tables, 2 flannel boards, and a projector. They would like a special budget for refreshments during those sessions
