Jairos Jiri at Mukuvisi Woodlands

On November 18th, we embarked on quite the adventure with 185 children and 70 caretakers from the Jairos Jiri Association to a game reserve in Harare, Zimbabwe.  Children with disabilities are faced with daily challenges in the harsh environment of Zimbabwe and as part of our initiative we wanted to give them a day off from life's obstacles and provide them with a fun day in the park.  For more information on the Jairos Jiri Association, please check out http://www.jairosjiriassoc.com.

Thanks to our friends at Meikles Mega Market, 500 bananas, sweet rolls, and meat pies (a real treat in Zimbabwe) were donated for breakfast and lunch.
