1. Aids......Sex education through missionary work.

2. Malaria.....Controlling the malaria bearing mosquito and educating people on avoiding being bitten by these mosquitoes.

3. Bilharzia.....Break the cycle of the bilharzia's developement by repopulating the dams, rivers and lake with the fish that feeds on the snail. Start a fish breeding station.

4. Malnutrition...Start a food garden project, using the methods of the FOOD GARDEN FOUNDATION.

5. Contaminated drinking water..... Educate people on ways and means of purifying their drinking water.

All these remedial methods are possible, but funds and knowledgeable workers for these projects are needed.

To get these projects (1,4 and 5) going, I shall settle on property belonging to Eternal Life Outreach (ELO) near Mangotchi during April 2000. From there I shall negotiate with the local chief for a piece of land to start a food garden project and soup kitchen for the poor.

Take a strong convert and teach him/her to do the same and help him/her to establish a similar project on the basis of the well tried pyramid system, thereby creating an ever expanding area where good wholesome food is available.

Projects 2 and 3 will need further planning and I believe and trust that they will come to fruit as well.

My needs to be able to tackle these projects are the following:

Prayer groups to carry me and funds for these projects.
