Thanks From Jeremie Nikiema!
In Sandogo many children get a maladia who call the VARICELLE at school there are five to ten who have it, and other maladia who called ROUGEOLE AND SOMME CHILDREN have it too, But God is good they get well.
About Targho Job had been last sunday with us in Ouaga, at Targho there not bigger problem now, they are so happy with the program.
There is a testimony of a parent at Targho saying.
My child had sickness and every time we are going to the doctors when he get the health card from Hunter the maladia went aways, the health card itself gives health of our chldren, because the maladia knows we have support to go the doctor everytime.
In Sandogo a parent at our church is saying that the project is good welcome, when I take the health card to my home all the sickness went out.

Progress
We have been given/pledged two very large donations, the result of which will be that within the coming months, our infirmary will have a government approved medical clinic and pharmacy which will provide on site free generic drugs to the children registered for the program in Sandogo.
The children in Targho will continue to receive their medication from the clinic in the village with our account, but will soon need food aid, as this is the time of year when their foodstuffs begin to run low.
Many thanks to all those who have contributed to make this possible! The program is soon to be in full fledged operation for the community!

Sourweima Windimi
One of our children in Targho fell down a shaft yesterday and did not recover from her injuries. Her name was Sourweima Windimi and she was about 14 years old. This is very sad news, and is a heavy reminder that a lack of medicine and nutrition are not the only dangers these children face. I pray for her and her family, and those who loved her.

ELCBF Beginning
According to Jeremie the funds in Ougadougou and Targho for the initial start of the medical program are running low and need to be replenished. Luckily fundraising efforts are underway, and there is much hope for a large donation in the near future to resupply Jeremie. Hunter is working to schedule appointments and creating other tools for fundraising.
The total goal for one year for the medical program is $11,056...
If you are interested in helping with your time, please email us! Thank you!

Initial Emial
Hello all,
I am writing you to let you know the website about the school I am going to aide in Africa is now up and running. For those of you who are unaware and those of you who are uninformed, I am going to be leaving at the end of this month to contribute to a school, The Evangelical Language School in Burkina Faso, with labor and financial assistance. Specifically, I am helping Jeremie Nitiema, a pastor at the church Bethel Sandogo in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso and the head of the ELCBF, raise money to establish a medical facility to help provide simple medical care to just over 200 children from neighboring villages, as well as a number of orphans who survive close to the facility.
The ELCB is an evangelical school with the goals of helping uneducated youths learn French, English and their own language, Moore. The school also aides local university students with English composition and more importantly, pronunciation. Jeremie's hope as well as my own and several others who have aided the school over the past few years is that those who learn about Christ, Christianity and become fluent in English and French will be enabled to advance quickly in both government and private industry and help build the Burkanbe infrastructure to provide stability and economic opportunity for the people of Burkina Faso.
For now, however, there is little hope for a great number of children who have no access to medical care, clean water or electricity, and barely have enough food to get by.
The website is:
www.ELCBF.org
When I return in March I hope to have detailed information about each of the children and families who wish to be sponsored for food and medical aid. $200 will sponsor a child's food and medical needs through the school for a FULL YEAR. The school is also in need of expansion as Jeremie and his wife teach 140 people in a school that only has three classrooms, and has no direct electricity and only one faucet. Every penny given through the website right now, however, will go to aid the medical program.
Please forward this email to anyone you think may be interested, and if you are unable to give, God Bless, and I hope you are able to take the time to be informed!

This is the first email we have sent out to friends and family informing others about the school.
If you read it, please pass it on!! Thanks!
