A Very Special Reunion at The Haven

More than 100 children and families returned to The Haven at Namwianga Mission for a day of remembering, reconnecting and celebrating God's goodness. The April 27 Haven Reunion was a party for children who had spent their early weeks, months, or years in Namwianga's orphan care program and who are back with their biological families.

The aunties (Haven's amazing caregivers) served a meal of chicken, rice, soup, potatoes and big slices of cake. Each family also took home a bag of groceries that included cooking oil, sugar, rice, beans, soap, and lollipops.

Kalomo's Member of Parliment, Namwianga's Superintendent, and the head of Kolomo's Social Welfare Office came to the reunion to see the fruit of years of labor. Namwianga has been involved in caring for orphans and vulnerable children since 1985.

The Haven's medical advocate Meagan Hawley described the joyous event:

Our Haven reunion party was such a beautiful day of reunion and rejoicing and reveling in all God has done in the lives of these children over the years.
To all of you who gave and helped make this happen, thank you.
We truly couldn't have done it all without your support.
