The ultimate Gift

Joyce at training session at Lake Malawi
One of our long-time volunteer Sinkhani, Joyce Mkandawire, has quite a story to share.  Several years ago she began helping a 12 year-old boy who was  living with his grandmother.  His mother died when he was 11 months old leaving him an orphan.  The grandmother did not know how to care for him so Joyce often visited the grandmother, teaching her how to feed him a balanced diet and how to keep their home and clothes clean.  The grandmother was very grateful and thanked Joyce encouraging her to visit as often as possible.  The grandmother passed away recently so being a compassionate Sinkhani, Joyce took the boy into her home to raise.  Joyce reports he is quite a little artist and is very happy and doing well in school.
